    How to soundproof your doors mk3

    Doing the rear bench and the rear hatch all add to making the environment quieter. The dB readings are a logarithic scale so the total reduction you are seeing is 10X less.

    How to soundproof your doors mk3

    Great :) I was hoping someone would say this would be sufficient enough to do the job.... I don't really fancy removing the seats either.

    How to soundproof your doors mk3

    I now want to apply sound deadening to the front wheel arches/front floor pan. Does anyone know a quick way to enable me to get under this area .... was thinking of removing door trims and hopefully lifting current mat area to do it... if possible?

    How to soundproof your doors mk3

    I have just applied sound deadening and closed cell foam to all 4 of my doors. Took about 8 hours in total to complete the 4 doors. The whole process turns the stock speakers and head unit into a premium sounding setup. I run a FiiO X3 FLAC player digital output via the USB to the head unit. The...

    Buying advice 2.0 190 TSI

    2.0 TSI 190 DSG

    How may miles has it done as £16395 is not bad for a 5-6K miles car. What colour was it? What reg? You could do what I did and make them an offer of 16K... just because someone else was looking doesn't mean they were buying.

    Thats absolute bull**** They only make it sound like that until you tell them you have a better deal elsewhere.... You must be well off because I can tell you now... you could get at least £500 off without trying... I got £1000 off a price where they said they couldn't do a better deal. Tell...

    2.0 TSI 190 DSG

    I played my local dealership off against another one. Make sure you let them know you have other interests and let them know how what they are up against. I got a 11month old FR Sport 190 which had done less than 5K miles for £16K in December.
