2 reasons, gdi and 3 cylinders configuration. Even my neighbor f10 5 series sound harsh when idle, almost diesel clutter sound like, thanks to GDI

Bro you need to book from power SA that get the job done. Like me I booked from SA that knows some one with the authority to prioritize chassis assignment.

This is different from cut Q because I had to sacrifice my fav color. They assign based on availability and customer’s preference.

So far when I drive my usual road for last 2 days, doesn't hear any wind noise when above 70km/h.

Normally happen also depends on wind angle.

I think it is reducing coz I didn't hear it since stick the thick tape there.

I will try to update in another week, now still cant confirm.

It is not easy to do, perhaps u want to try it yourself.
Get those red 3M double-sided tape or thick and soft tape, then put it at corner at the seal@door side or the plastic housing.

If the theory is correct here, that corner seems light only have a soft touch on yhe rubber seal, thus not enough pressure on it and also the seal at that corner also seem to out of shape (not 'D'), maybe that the reason it happened.
*
Wait, did you mean it's easy to do or it is NOT easy to do? I think what you did was sticking 3M tape at that corner right? Pretty nice thought there, I think I would try your approach. I have tried Aero Fins and they slightly reduced wind noise, but not much. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, if you can find from shoppee or lazada a small 4-6mm height door seal shape or DIY like my experiment, then you could it right at plastic house at car body (you will see it once opened you door).

With the seal, once you close the door, the seal should seal up the narrow gap (I will try show u picture later).

I managed to test a bit on yesterday night, not too fast around 80-9X km/h. Usually I may hear a sharp pitch wind noise, but yesterday didn't hear that but I now hear something else but can differentiate tires or wind noise as this is not as loud as before.
Still need to drive a bit to see the different.

Just for sharing, feel free to do what you want with your car, I'm no expert, just experiment my way. To be honest for my car, the noise is not serious to me. My previous owned cars are Peugeot 405, Honda and Myvi, thus for me X50 is already much better already

As mentioned by another user before my post above, it follow your door lock, if locked mean fuel cap is locked.
To unlock the cap also mean you have to unlock your door in order to open it.

I was having Peugeot car, it is having the same approach, I did find it very convenience.

that is brilliant

never had one of these cars before, the more you know the better thumbsup.gif

Finally got my chassis number for my citric orange premium after 6 months from booking 16/9.

How much would a decent tinting with >90% IRR cost me? Is coating necessary?

Thanks all.

That's the sound of the direct injectors. Other variants of x50 are quieter.

It’s about connection. You don’t randomly find SA from internet or Facebook ads post. You find from friend’s suggestion, your friend circle, and knowing their position in a particular dealer branch. For example, has this person archive any top sale’s award before ?
Is this SA a director in dealership ?

You do your homework as much as possible and you will bear the fruit of your research.

The problem in color choice is waiting period. Paint shop does not do individual request! That's just not possible. Paintshop will bulk paint,meaning paint in batches.

However this should not take more than a couple of months unless your variant is not a popular choice. Flagship would not take this long.
