Morning

My wife drives a Citroen C3 1.4 2005 hatch back. When you exceed 85km/h the car makes a humming noise. When you drive over 85 and push the clutch in the noise is still there so I dont think it is the engin does anyone have a idea what it might be?

Thank you
Jurie

Wheel bearing?

This will vary is hum depending on the road speed.

If it varies with engine speed and not road speed, then it may be a cam belt bearing.
