Recently had an annoying rattle / vibration when revs are fairly high up the range on my FL Cupra so today I decided to investigate.....
It was coming from the passenger side somewhere so had the glove box out and had a friend in with me for them to listen and the rattle was there but not anywhere behind the glove box......
So had a look under the bonnet, nothing was loose and plastic trims seem fine, next I took the bulkhead part out to see if anything was rattling under the windscreen and there were a few leafs there so cleaned them out and went back out.... Rattle still there.
So then whilst looking under the windscreen again I see the noise generator (Soundakator??), so I disconnects this and takes it out for another drive.... Viola! no more rattle.
So I think i have a faulty Soundakator, however to be honest I like it disconnected, yes it does sound better when it is connected but I have always found that the road noise in the Leon a little too loud sometimes, but it seems all this time it was the noise generator making all that noise, so I might look into replacing it for a new one so need to get a price (if anyone knows the price let me know ) and I may fit a switch so that I can turn it on and off when I like.
Any one else thought it is much better without the noise generator?
