Interesting subject. Do you mean the silver pipe from compressor ? Will covering it up helps? If yes, semua or certain only?
So far most cars I know does not cover up le... anyone or any car has that?

My car's aircond, so far okay.. not the best in class though. . A good tint does helps.


Added this...this is how aircond works..generally. Now looking at the pix, which one to cover? blue? Red? yellow? dark blue?

doing some quick research...looks like the dark blue one.. (cold pipe).

As the cold gas are transfered into the coil inside the cabin...the engine heat is the cause.

There is a guy did it.. and claimed works..



Need to find the foam pipe/tube with good quality and heat resistant.

Added : Many tried that it helps when the car is idle. Insuflex tube... one guy bought from electrical shop (not hardware shop). It is precut 2mtr length. Said enough, just 2M cost abt RM3 only.

tie with thick and longer cable ties... wrap the bigger or cold pipe woh.

the normal aircon pipe used at home is bigger in size..i think not suitable. hope I'm wrong.

I will try cari in the electrical shop... hardware shop ada for house one and fit then better.

from the firewall..till the drier and compressor, make sure it is cold pipe, not hot pipe.
the troublesome part is the one running parallel with firewall which is hard to access.

if can get hold of right foam, buy in bulk...can cheaper a bit...then we all meet 1 place for DIY and TTS.
As long as timing is okay for all la

The wall... i dont think that can help the aircon.
If you said just prevent heat to transfer in.. maybe ya...indirectly may help kua.

plussin128, Alza many meh?? I have been with my alza almost 2 years dah. Only added filter, so far no complain.

want to know why u say that.

oh ya...previously bought in bulk of soundproof pads when I just did a installation for new myvi with foaming and custom LEDs on legrooms+glovebox.

The pads are just RM250 only for 4 doors.
It consists of 14 x A pads and 20 x B Pads.

Front door = 3 x A pads + 5 x B pads.
Rear door = 4 x A pads + 5 x B pads.

Interested just PM me.

So sorry, late reply. These are the pix of the pads installed onto the inner doors.:

Myvi Lagi Best

Alza -

Just take out the door panels, and stick the pads firmly on it as shown.

The pads as mentioned in my previous posts, just spread it out evenly by sticking on it.

There are few areas to look into for wind noise. If it is driver side, u can look and the weather strip on the outside of the door.. there is a gap open at the end. Near the side mirror.

Can try actually..no harm...
But the weatherstrip atas tu, mostly under hot sun daily, the rubber shrinked abit, hence the gap opens. It is just between the small window and big window. The strip affected is the big window's weatherstip.
I try take a pix of that later.

When there is a gap, it opens up, so when we drive at higher speed, the wind swearing noise appears, like huricane.
So put a black bitumen there wld stop the huricane (perodua service did that for me).

Then later, the other end has the wind noise dah, so same method I use, and it works.

Just to add, that there is a lubang/open are from front fender to the front door, if we can 'seal off' that part, it shld be great. I belum try lagi.

YES.. this is the place... the SC changed to a new strip and added black paste.. I think is bitumen paste like the one sticking the plastic sheet in doors. Then solve the problem.

Rain water will go in somehow or rather... but in there, it is coated with rust proofing as what i can see.. very thin one. hehe. That is why at the bottom of the door, there are holes to let water out.. which has black stains.

But the wind noise can be annoying until like huricane. I on until volume 13 also can hear the wind... lucky they fix for me..

There are a little wind noise when I drive above 120. When I open my door, the door hinge area, I can see thru a hole to the front fender.. i think i try do some thing on that.
