On my mission to have the quitest ibiza i have sound deadened the door cards.

Car is going into the dealer (again!) for the same leak in the passenger footwell. Was so badly wet that the wiring for the airbag is damaged. Also, the rattle/rumble from the gearbox/clutch is back again so this need to be investigated. Nothing but problems unfortunately!

What's this sound deadening stuff like in terms of weight? Is it heavy? You might not only have the quietest Ibiza soon, maybe the fattest too :lol:


It's not very heavy. I weighed it before and I think 1m2 was 1.5kg. Not 100% on that though. I doubt you could fit enough to be the difference between a 12stone driver and a 15 stone driver, so I doubt you'll notice

This stuff is less heavy than the first lot of stuff i used but seams to do the same job. The engine is pretty capable to carry the little extra weight, not as if it's a 1.0 litre lol.

Got all the carpets and sound deadening out the car just now and the road noise is horrific lol. Volume on the radio has to be at 12 to be heard ha ha

Would it not have been more effective to put the sound deadening on the inside of car exterior? (Behind the plastic rear door card rather than on the door card)

loveing the extreme sound deading lol

a solved my road noise problem in the ibiza

ie A sold it!!! Problem solved haha

Yeah, i saw that, nice new car btw. Had a quick look at them, the mpg is not too good compared to the ibiza :(

The sound deadening is just to make the ibiza bearable lol. I was thinking of getting rid but tbh i shouldn't really spend any more on cars lol.

ross where and how much of that sound deadening stuff did you buy, might do the fabia

Ebay, search car sound deadening. Can't really remember how much i bought tbh. Maybe 4m2?

Cheers! One thing though, i would NEVER buy a white car again. Too much work to keep looking clean all the time.
