my first posting / my first seat / please help

[luckymjr]

Hi all .
This is my first posting on scn and was wondering if anybody could give me any advice .

I drive a 55 plate cordoba tdi 130 ( yes i know this is the ibiza forum but i noticed that a lot more people were viewing here ) and it goes like the clappers

The car has one really annoying problem though .
When driving on the motorway it sounds like i've got the drivers window open slighty and the draught noise is quite bad

I took the cordy back to the steelers and they promptly changed the seal around the window ( under warranty) this however made no difference at all

As the cordy is really an ibiza with a massive boot i was wondering if anybody else suffers from this problem

This is my first seat in over 20 years driving and any advice would be greatly appreciated ,

many thanks ,

mark

Hi and welcome to the forum..

FYI it doesn't matter where you post it.. people use the "new post" button and it will show up all new posts..... so posting in the most popular section only causes mods hassle because they have to move it... lol

Could be design.. I had a MK4 Ibiza and I never noticed any noise.. but on my Civic there was loads...

Mine did this and happens at a very specific speed - is it a high pitched wind whistle?

If so i believe there was a minor flaw with the wing mirrors. I head that SEAT fixed it, but im not 100% sure! Maybe have a quick search if u havent already as ive definitely seen it mentioned before.

EDIT:
This Thread covers the whistle!

i have heard it is coursed by aerodynamics of the front end but no idea... i have seen some wind deflectors on ebay about £12...

this can be a few things so il run thro a few

1.wing mirrors can whisle throu gaps.
2.front windscreen wipers can make noises
3.wrongley adjusted door use piece of a4 paper close it in door and pull out should be snug not loose not tight all the way along the top edge of the door!
4.no sound deadning pads in door!
5.is window not catching on seal and not keeping a compleate seal

 

[RichieRich]

how can u sort out if the window is not catching on the seal? (is probably not the correct english but u might know what i mean)

Nice car, kinda reminds me of mine, hehe, the color is also great.

These cars do make some noise at highway speeds so take a ride in another and compare the noise, if yours is much worse I'd keep bugging the dealer until the problem is fixed.

the seal can be made more snug by adjusting the door up down left right! with the bolts on the hinges
