Engine Noise

Post by GQAndrew »

Hi Guys,

I am sure this is a common prob with all GQ TD4.2's, when the engine is running at about 2400-2600 rpm (ie 100-110 on Freeway) the noise from the engine is probably a little too much for comfort. (Im sick of the passenger always bitching!).
The engine doesn't sound crook, it just sounds loud for that sort of rev range, is there anything that can be done to deaden the noise in the cabing, like putting in some sound proofing on firewall etc??

Thanks

Andrew

Unfotunately thats just on high end ot max torque band, and they do reverb a bit.
If engine OK then thick sound proofing on firewall and floor does help.
Check car mags etc. :lol:

2nd option.... ear plugs for the whinging one :?:

I hadn't thought about the exhaust system, doesnt sound like an exhausty type noise, just engine noise. Maybe I should try and drive another one to compare it.
