SUBJECT: Whistling Sound from Windshield / Dashboard Area, Passenger Side
REFERENCE: VIDA, TNN 84-11 (Roof Rails Front Attachment)
DESCRIPTION:
If a whistling sound or wind noise is heard from the passenger side dashboard area of the cabin. One reason for this may be that the foam sealing between
the body and climate unit (air inlet) is incorrectly positioned. The sound may vary in strength but is more audible at higher speeds; 50 mph (80kph) and
above.
NOTE: This issue seems to be mainly XC90 related but other variants may be affected.
SERVICE:
Identify location of noise. Inspect the seal and reposition as described in the following.
Identify location of noise
If this is an XC90 and is within chassis numbers 003400 - 235925 ensure the noise is not from the upper windshield / roof rails front attachment area. If
the noise is from this area refer to TNN 84-11 (if still applicable).
Inspect / Correct the Seal Position
In VIDA see: Remove wiper arms.
Remove cowl (plenum) cover. Remove water protection housing (snapped into the inlet).
Inspect seal and adjust if incorrectly positioned.
Make sure the foam seal is airtight all around the opening between the body and plastic housing.
If needed; with your hand reposition the seal to ensure any gap is filled.
