Brilliant result! I only did the door seal and got rid of 95% of the noise. No mess and only 15 bucks!

Hi. Can I ask you some questions now that it's been a while since you posted? 1) How durable has this solution been? 2) I live in NZ and was trying to identify the product you are referring to. I couldn't see 'Wax it Wet', but I saw '1-Step Wax & Dry'. Would that one be ok? The list of Turtle Wax products in Australasia can be found here: http://www.turtlewax.com.au/ 3) From what I understood you opened the window and sprayed the window 'frame' so to speak, and also the door seal? 4) Has anyone else found other solutions or products? Many thanks from downunder :D

Thanks Randombloke, I can see now. I must say it hasn't been to bad lately, but I did get a few ideas for when (and if) it gets worse

Just thought I'd update on this problem. Hasn't happened again at all ever since (almost 2 months). No other issues to report. Enjoying the trouble-free ride like most of us!

Having done more observations, this seems to be intermittent. Observing things even closer it seems to happen on the same road! Could it be the way the suspension deals with this surface? I notice that revs don't matter (i.e. it vibrates regardless whether I am accelerating or not), but it tends to come with the speed.

I remember reading about this in reviews before I bought the car, but I'm surprised I haven't seen it mentioned in this forum. Wheels have been alligned. When I mentioned the issue to my dealer they seemed to think it's an issue that comes with the model. It used to be the steering wheel vibratng, now I think it's more the whole car. Any opinions?

Thought I should post an update on this. The dealer hasn't come up with any possible explanations yet. This is from queries and searches, they haven't seen the car. The problem hasn't happened again. I tried the fan. I had been driving in heavy traffic but the temp gauge never went past the middle. With the car like this when I got to a side road and left it iddling for 5 minutes or so. I couldn't hear the fan (not being very familiar with it), but the temp gauge never went up. From what I read in this dicussion I think I'll probably ignore this for the time being.

Thanks again. I haven't heard from the dealer yet, they are still researching, so this is very helpful. It hasn't happened again. Weather is less cold (relevant?). I have been in very heavy traffic and jams, driving in 1st or 2nd gears for 30 minutes or so, and it hasn't overheated. In fact the temp gauge behaviour and reading look pretty plausible all other times. I'll still check the fan kicks in when iddling. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. Will try those and report back. It happened again today. The funny thing is the three times it has happened it's in the cold morning on the way to work, and always on exactly the same stretch of road, roughly 10 km from home.

Hi. I love this car!. Just replaced the sensor, because when I took the car to the garage for another reason (misfiring caused by faulty coils) they found the sensor was faulty too. This sensor was ordered from France, as there were no parts available in NZ. It was done by an official dealer. Today 4 days after replacing it the STOP light came on while on the motorway. The temp gauge was right up and the display showed 'engine overheating'. While I carried on in order to find a safe place to pull over, everything settled (in less than 2 min). Any thoughts on this?
