Wind Noise-Engine Compartment
- Perform a visual inspection. Verify that floor and body plugs are in place and body components are aligned and sealed. If component alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the appropriate service information for proper procedures.
- Carry out a road test, letting the vehicle gradually reach the speeds where the noise starts: if the wind noise persists, install gummed paper in the open areas (A) and (B). Repeat the road test.
- Remove the gummed paper from the area (A) and repeat the road test: if the wind noise persists, check the buffers where the bonnet and the wings couple at the rear.
- Remove the gummed paper from the area (B) and repeat the road test: if the wind noise persists, check the condition of the front weatherstrip and make sure it is correctly fitted (it should adhere perfectly to the crossmember when the bonnet is closed).
