I've been stunned at the amount of road noise in my 2014 Superb Outdoor on Australian coarse chip. I had a 2010 Ford Mondeo previously and it was streaks ahead. I am committed to the Skoda however, I've wanted one for a few years. I think there may also be some faulty bearings contributing, its going back to the dealer to get it sorted, that, and the climate control is not functioning properly. (i've only had it for 2weeks) There are a few things I'm going to try. As mentioned here, the boot, the wheel wells, bonnet and B-pillar. I'm looking for some 17inch wheels to increase tyre profile, the Mondeo had 17" 50 profile, and this should also provide more protection for dirt roads. (I'll keep the 18" 40's for when I want to sell it. The tyres are virtually new). The big difference to what others seem to have done, and I'm looking for some feedback on this, is I'm looking at doing something to the engine skid pan. This thing appears to be quite flimsy and I'm convinced that there is a drum effect taking place in the engine bay as result. I'm going to try a liquid rubber spray on the engine side, given the exposure of the panel to the elements. I will record my findings.

Any result on this?

I bloody love 💕 you. I didn’t even need WD40.
