sound

hi all, just wondering if anyone else has experianced this, i got my girlfriend to take my car to the seat dealership today to get the radio code and when she got there they told her that because i didnt buy it from them they would have to put the car on a machine and inform the dvla before...

Hi, I have leon mk2 1.9, and it started making a weird sound mixed with usual diesel clatter when cold and idle. It sounds like exhaust resonation but it comes from the engine bay. Actually it sounds more like air making resonation through a narrow tube, like blowing in the bottle, only higher...

Hey guys I know similar questions get asked thousands of times, but ive had a look and not found this question before! Im a bit of a music fan but not over the top stereo systems in cars. In my first MK3 Cupra I had the standard HU with Pioneer 6.5" components in the front, and a Sony...

Right, i want to make my leon quieter on the road, have changed the tyres but didnt really make that much difference. My question is, if i was to sound proof the leon where would be the best place to start e.g. which part of the car allows the most noise to enter the cabin. when driving mine...

I have noticed the headlight switch has been playing up on '57 1.4FS. Very occasionally when hearing the warning sound that my head lights have been left on, I turn the switch and the sound continues until I put key back in ignition. Also yesterday took keys out ignition, turned off lights and...

Hiya Finally got my (o so necessary) sound installed in the Cupra. Consisting of Sony 10" Slimline sub, Starsound Digital amp and custom back board. I used to have 2 x 12" subs in a custom box in my peug...ceredes benz i mean. Big box meant no boot and i been enjoying the leon boot so much...

Basically driving back home tonight and a really weird sound started happening which i think is coming from the roof of my 2001 ibiza cupra. The best way i can explain the sound is like a sheet of metal rattling/bouncing around hitting the actually shell (roof) of the car... When applying...

I just ordered my new MK5 Seat with 0% APR, so here comes my question: Is it possible to change headunit and is there any gromets for amp installation in the boot? Thanks in Advance SB

I have an 2007 mk2 leon, lately I started hearing some toc-toc sounds from the climate control... Mostly when the car is cold. I still have about 3 months warranty. Is this *rap going to die on me? Should I service it? Thanks!

I wonder if any of you good people can help me. I have an 06 (55) FR+ with 33k on the clock. In the last week i have had a resonating drone/humming which appears to be coming from the rear nearside, although brother has suggested it might be coming from the off side. Its not a wheel bearing...

I've had my V5 for nearly 3 weeks now. It's a 99 T reg with 83k on the clock, so it's the older 10valve version with 150bhp. I have been keeping an eye on my fuel consumption and it says i am averaging about 26-28mpg per tank. When accelerating the consumption obviously increases. When i'm...

I drive a '01 Leon Stella 1.4. I would be grateful if anyone could give me some info on this problem - there are 2 speakers in each door - a bass one low down and a small treble one on the mantle of the door. The sound in my one in the passenger door comes and goes and is crackly most of...

i have a seat alhambra 1.9tdi and tonight my wife was driving the car when we hard a sound like a warning sound just like when you open the door when you are going to stop but it was just one bleep and she said that there were a symbol next to the outside temperature reading it might be...

Hi all im thinking of starting a new project for my car. As im having problems with my standard head unit and dodgy speakers ive decided to rip it all out and design a new system. Im thinking of using an EEE-PC to mount in the disk changer bit in the glove box and use a touch screen that...

I have a 225 LCR and when I reverse, if i brake as soon as you press the brake there will be a loud knocking sound from the front. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks

I know there are lots of other threads on this, but there doesn't seem to be any conclusive answer to this, with some people saying new tyres, some saying wheel alignment etc. From my own experience: * The rumbling sound wasn't there when I first bought the car * It is now there and I...

Hey all! Need some serious help I bought a cd changer from ebay that came out of 05 leon fr tdi, and put it into my leon fr tdi same year. The changer works and everything its just that the sound quality is awful. On the cd changer wiring that came with it as mine doesnt have it as standard I...

quite hard to explain really but when i was waiting to fill up today i had my foot on the clutch and a wurring started when clutch was released it stopped. does not do this all the time so quite odd? sounds like it is coming from the vents in the middle but played with my fans and it did not...
