Ive got a 182 sport and a new nice has recwbtly apeared. Ive only had for a week and its been great but today at about 70-80 a high pitch noice starts? It sounds a bit like aor rushing through something in a small gap. Only thing ive dine to car is level out the bonnet so rise it on the rubber twisty bits but I lowered it ahai to test the problem? Any awnsers would be great!

I have the same issue with my car at 80mph... So annoying!
Place a piece of tape over the hole on the underside of the drivers wing mirror.
Will be doing this when I got home from work! Hopefully it will be the answer.

Never seen this mentioned on Cliosport; thought it was just mine!!! Anywhere from 80-100mph in mine depending on how windy it is.
On mine if I press hard on the plastic mounting for the rear view mirror/rain sensor it changes the pitch of the noise or makes it go completely...

That sounds like mine does with this fault

Nice and easy to fix though

Ha! Need to watch this video all the way through...
Seriously though, has anyone cured this?! Anytime I take someone out in the car: "Yeah it does that sometimes, don't worry."

I'm probably being dim but is that really the cause of the noise? The noise changes when I press on the plastic mounting attached to the windscreen; your fix involves something near the pedals, is it really the same thing?? Genuinely want to know if I'm being thick!

Iirc mine changed tone when I pushed the screen as I thought it might have been the bits of trim on the outside top corners of the screen causing it (which I have heard of before). Only thing I can suggest is spend the 2 min to try it! The noise in the vid was just like the one mine had and it was because the recirculation thing was staying half way between open and shut. I crapped it when it happened thinking something bad was wrong with it...
I have done this earlier today and took it for a good blast - no noises!!! But I'm going to wait a few days before confirming that this has definitely fixed the problem.

Good man. I'll give it a go over the weekend!

My old 182 used to do it. I think it's the external strip along the top of the front windscreen. I put a line of masking tape along the top once to cover the gap between the glass and the rubber/plastic strip and it stopped the noise altogether. Did my head in. I think it's just abit of a design fault. Just sell it and get a 197/200
