I am so happy - Totally noise free.

YES. After 2 years from when I have bought my 7 I can say that for now my car is totally noise free. I have been hunting them down one by one from when have her.

Last 2 where caught yesteraday. Thanks to my specialist.

A plate vibrating noise from under my seat which was the cat converter heat shield which was a bit loose and a sort of bumping noise which was coming from infront of my dash board when I started the car and when I put her off. This resulted to be cut out bolts from my turbo shielding.

Now the only noise that need to be fixed is just the metallic noise that the door produces when shut. But i already know the cause (loose pillar) and that will be taken care of soon. When I paint by interior plastics.

Now the car drives right and sounds right.

I have a recurring squeak from my hood. Not the latch, but one of the hinges. I spray WD-40 on it and it'll stop for a week. Put oil on it and that didn't work. Any ideas?

How do you stop all the plastic squeaking on the removable partition behind the storage bins?????!!!!

They make a lithium based grease that can spray through a slightly larger tube than wd-40 that should last longer on your hood hinges. also works really well on you door lock assembleies to keep them working smooth and break free.

Grease is your soultion I think. I had a squeek from the latch spray would solve it for a week but grease solved it forever. Thanks to my specialist again

My interior only squeaks once in a while so it not that much a problem.


ROADS here are a total disister each and every one of them. The last road resurfacing where I live has take place 10 years ago you can think of their condition.
