srobrien Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I've started hearing an annoying "jingly/squeaky" noise coming from the boot, it happens the whole time. I don't think its anything on the outside it sounds like an internal noise. Anyone else have the same? R Quote
Shaun1982 Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Sorry dude my rears silent but the strip under the windscreen with the heater slots likes to make the most annoying rattle all the time though Quote
Toon Chris Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Yes, I had that. Try taking of the tonneau(?) cover to eliminate that, or at least press the fixings home so they are in tightly. I had to have a friend lean into the back whilst I drove to find that squeak but, ah!, the blessed relief! Quote
From A to Zed Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Hi mate, are you sure it's not your drop links going? Mine started out as a little creak and gradually got worse over time. If you can park the car on a flat surface (brakes off and in neutral) lift the hatch and bounce the rear of the car - it would sound louder from outside. A re-grease will clear it up for about 6 months but I am going to replace my links at the next service. Matt Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 i have this, but i think my new CF rear strut cover should fix this as it makes it a tighter fitting. my old fix was to just turn the radio up Quote
Vale Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Ah yes that old radio tune up its sorted my whurring drive train noise a treat Rich Quote
srobrien Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 Cheers guys will try all of the above, I usually have the radio turned up LOUD but my gf was in the car and she doesn't appreciate the gods of rock and i refuse to put on girls aloud so we have to listen to the K1 and the squeaks instead R Quote
martek Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Sorry dude my rears silent but the strip under the windscreen with the heater slots likes to make the most annoying rattle all the time though Same here mate, but only rattles when cold, it's starting to drive me nuts , anyone have a cure? Cheers Dave. Quote
bronzee Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 The space saver can make an irritating noise if the screw cap is coming loose from it's possy in the boot. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Whatever you do, don't feed it after midnight... Quote
Greekman Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Mine did it since new! With the spare wheel in or not over vertical imperfections it sounds as if something is bouncing up and down...and if anything its getting worse with time!!! Quote
srobrien Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 Hmm I may have to start systematically stripping out bits of my interior to see if i can narrow it down. R Quote
LRF4N Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 mine does this i thought it was coming from the boot somewhere,il try tightening the screwcap for the spare wheel or the tonnaueaeueuau caps see if that helps Quote
Adriank Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 It will be the K1 causing the rattling if its anything like my buddyclub... All was silent before fitting it, now the dash and various bits of interior vibrate. Just ignore it! Quote
gunmetalzgt Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Ah yes that old radio tune up its sorted my whurring drive train noise a treat Rich helped me cope with a noisy bearing for a while Quote
bronzee Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 What about the Wheel Jack etc, is that all anchored down? Presuming that's under the back right side of the carpet in the boot. Quote
srobrien Posted October 1, 2009 Author Posted October 1, 2009 Found it! It's coming from the plastic liner on the boot lid. Given it a technical tap and it's stopped now! R Quote
