Well that's where the air goes isn't it???

Todd! · Mar 31st, 2005, 01:17 AM

Is it a rattle when you go over rough roads or when you are at certain revs? The ALTA makes a light sucking noise that is very high pitch, then the very loud sucking noise...

Maybe....

Tit · Mar 31st, 2005, 02:49 AM

Rough roads mate..

The alta makes alot of noise.....but not a noise like this one...

There's one specific road that I go on to work, that manges to make my car generate a symphony of squeeks, rattles and noises...

I think my front left HK Tweeter is distorting as well.....stupid MP3's...!!

worry...thats whats new

having just read the MCSC specific forum, and seeing all the annoying things that vert's are having to go back for (scratched windows, roof wear etc).. I must admit that as soon as I receive it, I'll be looking for these things all the time !
I was 100% confident in the quality . Now, I'm starting to freak out about the distance that large replacement parts ( i.e. new roof mechanisms) have to travel.

Oh don't worry, if you need parts you'll get them really quickly! Honest. I promise. Pretty please.*

Whatever happens, you'll love the car so much you'll deal with any issues with ease I reckon.

* I had to wait 7 weeks for my MCS to be repaired after the "roo incident", probably 5 weeks of that was waiting for a wiring loom to come from Germany.

IML337 · Mar 31st, 2005, 07:33 AM

in my experience it's not often that parts have to come from Germany... they have good stock in Melbourne

AndrewH · Mar 31st, 2005, 08:54 AM

Don't worry too much Darrell, I think we all go through the quality worry phase just before our cars arrive. It's not nearly as bad as it all sounds.

Liam (and a couple of other Canberrans) problems aside, I've had to order a few parts that have had to come from Germany and the dealer has managed to get them to me in less than 2 weeks. Of course these were bling bling parts so 2 weeks was ok, 2 weeks + wouldn't be too good if it was a critical engine component or suspension part you were waiting for

enzothemaddog · Mar 31st, 2005, 09:38 AM

Ive done heaps of parts buying

, but have had a few encounters with having to wait for a German export (Gauge panel, rear panel clips, rear airbag covers) but general parts are in Melb, like Timmeh said
