Hi,

Need a help on the A pillar wind noise issue. Any idea where the noise come from?

Many thanks.

Rather than ask, I think it may be better if you get a friend to take a ride with you and he/she can be tasked with listening to where it comes from.

Had my wife to look around and the wind noise seems to come from the sun visor area and it's quite pronounce though especially running at 115k/h and above..

One good way to test is to get some tape and temporarily apply it to the suspected area. If that stops the wind noise, you have found the spot. On next service, point that out to the service personnel & demand that it be rectified.

i have this problem also. the culprit is air-cond air circulation. u might want to off air circulation.

my case no DIY solution. need to ask SC.

buy ford fiesta...

I dunno you guys...but i tried another way...until now...touch wood still no over cranking problem. i think my batch CN:1070 have OWV problem but until now i only have three time over cranking problem. "Is like not enough power to start the car" but usually once push it will start but takes longer time to start...usually after 1.5 second it will start but it start after around 2 or 3 secs of cranking sound.

now i try another new way of starting the car.

Insert key fob. -> press push start....there will be ember light. wait till the electronic component got light including HU word proton come out wait till got radio. then press again push start button...

This time you will see all the lights icon indicator turn on. ...the light still ember orange light at the push start. wait a few second like 3 or 4 secs. then press brake. then you will see green light on the push start. then you press the push start button. it starts good now. for almost a month i tried using this technique without any over cranking problem. ....("this way you press push start 3 times" means press once...wait press another time..wait.. engage the brake pedal then press again to start.")

i use my car usually just go work and go home. through and flow around 60km. after rain or during cold chilly morning i also did try start my car. no OWV and no over cranking problem. Yet.... hope it will not occur. So cold start not a problem anymore. is a bit tedious and lots of steps....but just for cold start.

after the first start. the remaining of on off stays the same way.
insert key fob. press brake pedal then press push start.

Will try it again But If i remember correctly I did only release the brakes once the engine started fully

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try it out this weekend.

Have not tried on this. Will do that when I'm getting to speed it up this weekend. Thanks

Yest bro maverick drive my car put auto aircond, so sudden the whistle sound come from the blower. I heard the sound also at the same time.

But, whole day put auto aircond today, i dont heard the sound anymore . So weird.

Holy moly!!

Hmm.. I might try this one too after this.

As a matter of interest, the car's manual suggest that the trigger level for light sensor can be adjusted at the SC.

This might be ideal for the first start of the day. The next start can just insert fob, press pedal and push start. I would say this is a workaround.

However in the first place, user should be able to use the quickest start method without any over cranking problem. If need 3 times to push, that defeat the purpose of having push start button.

Have fun and enjoy. There wont be a gold FLX crashing this TT coz I will be outstation.

Where where u post? I need to install also... I wan where the rubber will install? Existing rubber still remind there rite? Only install the new 1 at another place rite? The rubber wasn't install window rubber there rite? If not mistaken, u mention door need close harder rite?

I need ask SC to replace rubber for me cos my window side got wind noise... But ask them replace for me need wait long long time...

Bro maverickng n kiapreve... How how bro fulat's car?

gents,

want to ask do you guys hear any weird noises when stepping on the break pedal in your preve? because mine did. is it normal?

thanks.

Is it some wind / air noise? something like pressure? If yes then its normal

actually push start button itself for this car already need additional step...

usually key fob in the pocket...when get in car just press start button.. (2 steps) correct me if i am wrong for forte cars or any other push start button like ford and toyota prius c/prius

for us..we need to insert key fob....then press brake pedal... then only press push start. our case( 3 steps)

my old manual car daihatsu charade just need to insert key and then twist to crank engine...so no need to get inside car and press brake...
(2 steps)
