Squeeking Over Bumps & Leaking doors

Featured Replies

What could be causing this squeeking on my octavia, it comming from mid front of the car and always does it over bumps and speed humps.

Just wondered if its something simple.

Finaly 3 of my doors are letting in water at the bottom of the doors do i need new inner door seals or just the seal that is on the actual bottom of the door (looks like a strip) Or both.

Thanks.

As for your squeeks it is more than likely your ARB bushes and possibly drop links as well, or it could be your rad mounts.

Are you still in warranty??

Does the car squeak when you shut the front doors? If it does then its defo the rad mount.

It just squeeks over bumps it had full service and mot 2 weeks ago and everything seemed ok then.

How much are these ab bushes and drop links if they need doing.

I will check the rad mounts now - Thanks

Squeeking: If the squeek is not as obvious in wet weather, then my guess is ARB bushes.

Leaks: It could be the foam membrane behind the door skin is damaged, rather than the actual door seals.

Cheers for the help, The door leaks were due to someone removing the door membrains and not putting them back.

New ones fitted and only the front passenger door leaks in but only slightly and only when it really pours down.
