Nic Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Some of the roads in HK are shocking and I've been getting really pissed off lately with little rattles and squeeks that have developed, so I have just spent the last hour giving the car a good going over. Emptied all the crap out of the boot and glove compartments, found a couple of loose bits of interior trim, tightened down my amp and secured some wires behind the dash that were rattling. I then fixed the problem with the warning triangle coming on at speed due to lack of front spoiler. Just been out for a drive and no more sqeeks, rattles or warning triangles...

Supragal Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Nice one! It's one of those things you usually never get round to doing so it must feel good to have done it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Everything rattles in mine. I swear there's something wrong with the suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul -C- Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Make sure you get the subframe bolts tightened as well. That removed a lot of my noises. I just need to sort out my driver side speaker, which is making noises everytime I hit a slight bump in the road. I really can't be arsed taking off the door panel just to fix a screw though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I went over a speedbump I was creaking... But once I got those bolts tightened the car is silent going over bumps again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you sort the warning triangle mine has been on ever since my VS front was fitted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul -C- Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Originally posted by Ian R How did you sort the warning triangle mine has been on ever since my VS front was fitted ? I unplugged my spoiler ECU to get rid of the warning triangle. The ECU is behind the stereo. I think it's the small one on top. Unplug it and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 I still have the spoiler switch attached, it was lose though tucked away behind the stereo and the boost controller that is now in the space where it use to be. So it was just a case of ripping the dash apart finding the switch and pressing the off button, then putting the dash back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
