Hey all

 

Im runnning the beast in and every time I take it out theres more squeeks. Ive tracked down a lot but any help on where to find any more would be gratly appreciated.

 

Bonnett catch had play in it and was fixed by moving the catch down as far as I could and wrapping some tape around the hook on the bonnet.

 

Bonnet hinge was chattering so I stuck a piece of rubber about a cm in size on top of the existing rubber and it has stopped this.

 

Aircon matrix cable was rubbing on the back of the glovebox so just moved and taped up.

 

Found two screws missing behing the das where there was butterfly screw holder thingy which were vibrating put sone screws in and it was sorted

 

Vent on the side of the stereo console was rattling so I used a line of bathroom sealant to give it a buffer.

 

I still have a very annoying high pitch squeek coming from passenger side only on larger bumps it sounds like glass against rubber or something like that. I was going to vaseline all of the rubber seals and see if this fixes it but sounds more like something moving in time with the bounce??

 

P.S. I AM NOT OCD!!!! about may car!!!! 1,2,3,4,5....... :-)

Class ! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

my most annoying squeek, turned out to be the shock spacer gaskets being worn out, just a thought

Easiest way is turn the stereo up, get a louder exhaust and buy some BOV's :rofl:

When i shut my driver side door with some force, a rattle comes from the wheel arch/bonnet area... any ideas?

both my zeds suffered bonnet sqeaking, took me ages to work out where it was coming from initially,

About every three months I do the hinges with spray grease and all the seating/sealing rubbers with silicone spray, that stops my sqeaks :)

LOL welcome to how my car is :rofl:

I'm surprised that no-one else has mentioned this but you should NEVER put Vaseline on rubber seals, it degrades/perishes the rubber ;)

Where the felt on the front of the targa meets the front of the roof, tends to squeak over bumps, not squeak more a plastic rubbing noise, still annoying tho.
