Have you got wind noise?

[Will@carbon]

Yes I had wind noise from my doors, we tried to bend the doors a little, but no luck.

I removed the seals and put them on again but not so hard as to reduce the gap, but no luck.

I fitted some extra soundproofing in the inner door frame between the door and car to try to catch the noise, but no luck.

In the end I replaced the  entire door and door frame with a BMW door and frame and that has fixed the problem. Strange it has also got rid of the stupid amount of road noise and tyre roar, given my more power, better handling, better mpg and the stereo sounds way better.

Ha!

I have same wind noise "feature" on the front driver and passenger doors...the noise (sounds as if window partially opened) kicks in at 60mph so I have lived with it until its first service which was today..it is annoying..

Dealer says its normal for this car and said they took out another one which also had the same issue...

i advised them of the things to check and there should be a TPI in for this but they cannot find anything..

just done a bunch of research on it and will have found a TSB 2023699 off a US forum, might be same for UK? plus using some silicone grease, krytox, B pillar padding?, window surround seal and door alignment to check

i won't let it go for a car that costs this much!!

does anyone know what the TPI number is? it has been mentioned in a few posts and think this could solve it once and for all..

Hi All,

Just wondered if anybody got VW Service Modification number for door seals to cure wind noise. When I first got my GTI the wind noise would start at around 65mph, I got the front passenger door adjusted - and now starts at motorway speeds. The noise seems to depend on wind direction - as if I'm driving with a crosswind on passenger side - a whistling noise starts around the front passenger side door.

Regards,

yep sounds exactly like mine, it definitely kicks in at 60+ and gets progressively worse!

wind direction does also have an impact, its worse ont he passenger side

hopefully someone will come up trumps with a number that can be cross-referenced otherwise it might be a long drawn out affair with my dealer...

Must admit I forgot yesterday as they were going through so much stuff to do with my car. Tried calling earlier but couldn't get through. I will try again next week
