#3: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: brimbo, Location: South ShieldsPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:13 pm ---- my driver side door clicks, i was told its just where it locks in at certain points while opening/ closing the door, so it doesnt swing open or something
#4: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:13 pm ---- door strap might be on way out..
#6: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: ian206, Location: ReadingPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:15 pm ---- Gonna sound thick here, but whats a door strap? I have shoved as much grease over the hinge as I can.

I had my passenger one replaced in september and it's gone already.
#9: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:23 pm ---- definitely sounds like door straps to me
#10: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:26 pm ---- Just grease them up, they should be ok. That's all I do with mine.
They are about half way down the door, they are pretty thin
#11: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:26 pm ---- don't think u should use WD-40,
may be lithium grease?
#12: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: GazRG, Location: Bournemouth/CardiffPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:26 pm ---- Exactly, use copper grease over the hinges and check straps, do not use WD40, but instead make sure they are regularly covered in copper grease.

If the door opens right out so the hinges wont go any further without any resistance the check straps are knackered.
if it stops half way out then they just need a grease
#14: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:33 pm ---- stops half way out lol, but goes "CLIIIIIICCCCKK" when you push it past the halfway point
#15: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:41 pm ---- the check strap is held on by a torx bolt into the shel there about 15 new from pug, also they shoudl be colourcoded to your car if they havent been changed
#16: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: GazRG, Location: Bournemouth/CardiffPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:41 pm ---- Tighten the bolts holding the check strap on.
#17: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:42 pm ---- As said before don't use WD-40 as it'll be fine for a while but get even wore later on. Use copper grease to make the effect last
#18: Re: Noisy Door Hinges?? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 2:32 pm ---- yeah just grease them up be ok
