This is one of those little jobs i still need to get around to doing and was reminded of this afternoon whilst screaming up the M20. i think Il have a tinkler with the door closers first though before brutally tweaking anything.

haha i was waiting for someone to say that.. not sure but when you  pull the doors towards you with the handles , the noise stops , then obviously starts again when you let go! so any ideas!?  :laugh: just the same at 100 as 80 mate...

My guess would be the door seal, but that would just be a guess!

BTW where abouts in Cockermouth do you live?

slatefell drive , uploaded some pics of my car last night on here... the green one! just had a look at your story thread , cars looking nice ,  me & my mate are changing my oil this weekend , need to replace the rocker gaskett aswell but he said it`s quite awkward!!

Have you had your car long? Don't think i've seen it around, they Mk4 wheels on it? They look good :cool:

I noticed a dragon green one knocking about last summer but that had bbs wheels I think. I've got no experience changing rocker gaskets otherwise i'd offer to pop over and help!

My last car, a 1.4 CL, did it at 80. Basically sounded like the door vibrating. mind you it was hard pressed to do 80, let alone anything more  :grin:
Pulling the top of the door in by hand stopped the noise.

Current car is a 16v GTI fine at all speeds, though the wipers kinda jump a bit at very high speed, as if somebodys pulling them up. Also very ineffective at 85+, maybe thats what a wiper spoiler is for!

8V or 16V? 8V is really easy, 16V not so easy.

Theres a couple of nuts that are really tricky to get to on the 8v, especially for begginers...

I had the same thing on my car and did try bending door frame with no change.
So I bought a new door surround rubber and all became quiet!

bought it a couple of years back , yeah it had bbs anni split rims but they were hard work keeping clean & fancied a more modern look , & the montreals were cheap & suit the car well , had a black mk4 1.8t anni for 6months last year , but had to sell it to put money down on the house! so i bought the 16v back of my mate who i`d sold it to..
