Howdy...

Do you guys get a banging or a squeaky noise from your parcel shelves when you run some bass through your speakers or crank your sub(s)?

I used to only get it when i was pounding out some low bass and when I was back at the audio store last weekend, I showed one of the guys who started mucking around with the tray from inside the cabin and from the boot. Now i'm starting to notice it just driving along the motorways etc.

I think i've isolated the places where its coming from and now need to try and fix it. i think its the cover from the rear wiper banging up against the back window and also just one side of the shelf where the vents are...

Has anyone else had this problem? I presume its common...

How did you get around it? thick tape, foam, some sort of divider?

If so, where did you get it from and how much was it?

This noise is driving me nuts!!! :crazy:

ahhh thanks Humbla. I have noticed that the shelf is sitting up. Maybe it is something to do with the clips. Have to try and figure out how to clip them down. As i said before, its only one side that makes the noise... perhaps one clip is right..

i noticed my left side (looking from the rear of the car) is loose aswell

i tried getting it back on with the slip but it doesnt seem to wanna sit there either..... i think its weldin time :P

Fixed!

Well... It appears to be for now...

You were right Humbla, the clip was facing the wrong way and just hanging out. Fixed that, then proceeded to put some foam tape stuff in some of the gaps as a buffer between the wiper cover and the back window and between the parcel shelf and metal.

All good! Thanks! :D

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
