Hello everyone 
I buy brand new 2020 jimny , I notice a whine noise ( like diff pinion and bearing whine) from the car
I take it to the dealer and the technician take a ride with me to hear the noise and he say it's normal and all jimny have it ! 
Is that really normal?  And do you notice a whine sound in your car (especially at 40+ kmph) ?

All Jimny are loud compared with a normal car. It's not to say that you could have an issue but it would have to be a quite invasive noise. Would you be able to record it and post it to the Internet on YouTube for instance?

I am so glad I fitted a sound deadening kit to my Gen.4. It's no Rolls Royce but it makes a big difference.

But it will also add a lot of weight..!! Where did you place the sound deadening?

It obviously added weight but probably not more than 20 lbs. I bought it from NoiseKiller Acoustics (UK) ltd. They are in Oldham. The full kit covers the underside of the bonnet , inside the front doors the side panels, the boot well, the rear area under the back seat, and under the front seats and footwell area. They use 4 types of material. Cost was £231 and included a Luxury Welcome mat 75cm x 45cm. I used this for the kitchen door!

Hi,

I have been looking at that Company in Oldham.
So what is the quality of the materials like..??
Was it all pre-cut, or did you need to cut to fit..??

Cheers,,, Dave
