Thread: Humming in rear parcel shelf in MPS6

  1. Unhappy Humming in rear parcel shelf in MPS6

    recently bought an 07 MPS 6, and found between 75-80kph theres a humming/resonance sound which appears to be coming from the rear parcel shelf area. Tried to pinpoint it but could only narrow it down to thatr general area. Its not a rattling sound, almost sounds like wind.
    Only Occurs between 75-80kph, anyone else had this problem?

    not really a vroom vroom, just a whisling it doesnt change pitch or anything with the engine revs, sounds the same regardless of what gear or rpm.

    Have you tried eliminating the diff as the culprit (lift handbrake to first notch when you experience the noise and see if noise disappears)?

    it's air coming through a small gap by the sound of it, check your seals around your boot and rear doors and lift the carpet up in the boot to see if any of the rubber bung plugs are missing there should be one in every hole that leads through the metal to the outside of the car

    i'd get someone in the back and drive at the speed that make's the sound and see if they can pin point its location better

    even drop one of the rear seats forward by removing the black molded carpet that backs up against the seats in the boot and pulling the latches that are only accessible from the boot
