Xantia Estate - Howling Wind!
Hi folks
Odd one here. I have noticed that when driving the Xant, I get this wind howl sound, especially around 50-60 mph. You can also hear gusts of wind hitting the car by the change in tone.Hard to say where its coming from but it appears to be worse when there are other people in the car! Maybe its just psychological! I assume maybe door seals are getting stiff and there are maybe small gaps causing it?
Has anyone else had this?
No water leaks that I can see.
Cheers
Alan

Indeed and most likely. The driver's one wears terribly. Also check all doors are fully closing against the seals and that you do not have the start of the well-known estate problem of the top hinge of the driver's door starting to separate from the A pillar..Northern_Mike wrote: On my 1995 Estate it was the door seals.

Re: Xantia Estate - Howling Wind!
Get someone else in the car to pull each door inward hard when you have the noise, the noise should reduce when the appropriate one is pulled.

On mine, as Jim says, it was the drivers door seal. It'd sound like I hadn't shut the door properly it was so bad, much worse in the rain, it sounded like water was coming in.

Normally adjusting the door catch is enough unless the seal is disintegrating.

Re: Xantia Estate - Howling Wind!
front Xantia door seals Stealers only £95 a pop
my old drivers door one is no longer viable but i have good passenger door and rear door seals
and may well be breaking my S2 estate up soon.
NO IVE CHANGED MY MIND NOW I'M KEEPING IT.

Re: Xantia Estate - Howling Wind!
Thanks for the advice. I will try the catch adjustment first, then maybe live with if it doesn't work! Cheers
