- S320 2007 CDI
Evening to you.
For 9 years I had an S280 (2001) petrol which had double glazing and sound deadening that would rival a sound studio.
I fancied a change to something younger, so I swapped if for an S320 CDI (2007).
It's still very quiet, but I'm guessing, as it's a diesel, the engine is naturally noisier anyway.
The sound deadening is not as good in this model.
I was pricing up some sound deadening quilt at Halfords (like the stuff we used to glue to the bonnet and stuff in the doors of our Fords in the old days), when I thought better of it and decided to ask on the forums first.
Any of you have a great way to make the car a little, or a lot quieter? Have you done this before? What worked best? Is there a kit available that would make the noise situation better?
I plan on driving it, so leaving it in the garage is not an option, ok?
Thank you very much for any advice
