BONNET NOISE LOCALISATION

Check 7025OA

Tape the various areas illustrated in the diagram using bodywork gummed paper.

BONNET NOISE LOCALISATION

Carry out a road test letting the vehicle gradually reach the speeds where the noise starts: if the wind noise persists, check that the plugs are present and that the rubber cable ducts in the fire-proof partition are correctly fitted.

Remove the gummed paper from area A and repeat the road test: if the wind noise persists, check the buffers where the bonnet and the wings match at the rear.

Remove the gummed paper from area B and repeat the road test: if the wind noise persists, check the condition of the front weatherstip and make sure it is correctly fitted (it should adhere perfectly to the crossmember when the bonnet is closed).
