Creaks And Squeaks

Gakman · January 1, 2003

Does anyone else have these "phenomenon"?

Driver seat "creaks", typically on bumpy roads and almost not at all on motorway.

Secondly, a squeaking noise from the driver door? Its sounds like something to do with the door rubber on the door chassis and the plain metal contact with the door. If I pull the door (whilst driving!!) towards me it stops!! Similarly, if pushing the door away!

Really ******* annoying!!!

for the squeaking seat you have two options - its the seat belt buckle itself (plastic>plastic contact) there is some info in the maintenance section or the seat support frame has broken - heard of before.

for the door try to lubricate the seals with a SILICONE grease if you think the seal is the cause of the noise also check that the stricker plate/latch has not moved - the bit the door latch catches on, on the door frame.
