I think the cheapness and cramped-ness is what gives it such good MPG's.

Worth noting only sound deadening has been installed. This is not designed for 'proofing'. 50mph would have sounded greatly reduced with proofing plus deadening material. Shame you couldn't get the arches off to do this

Hi, I've been watching your videos as I am contemplating buying an Aygo X-Pression. It's a 2016 model with free tax and has all the following; Air con, Reverse camera, Bluetooth, Cruise control, Electric windows and Alloy wheels. It's going for £5000 with milage of 87000 and I was wondering if this was a good package for the price?

I can agree with the merging part on the highway. I was doing 130km/h on a dutch motorway and an aygo merged into my lane with 80km/h. I had to brake quite a lot.

I used Kilmat on all four doors, hood (bonnet), trunk (boot) lid, and license (reg) plate in my son's car when we installed an upgraded sound system and it made a huge difference overall.

Damn smart. An axle stand is a cheap and critical way to protect yourself. I have 2 and a hydronic jack. My old vehicle was poorly maintained, and I never managed to get it fixed, but hell with having it crush me. My rav4 is kinda noisy with road noise perhaps in spring I will do this

2:07 next time put something or someone on the brakes rather lower the car

Nice vid. Quick tip when putting wheels back on, always do the bottom wheel nut (closest to the floor) it will hold the wheel flush against the rotor, making life much easier!

I did the same, but added a material similar to kill-mat to the underside of the loose floor-mats. It made a tremendous difference. I haven't done the ceiling, as there is very little space and I am not sure I would be able to put it back properly. It is cheap and easy to do, and really worth the work and money. It came with 14" rims, these I changed for 15", and it was like getting a new car with much better handling.

Have you had any issue with drooping? I have yet to find a mount that does not gradually start drooping over time and require re-adjusting

Hey Jamie Bit of brain teaser here, I’ve purchased a aygo but it didn’t come with any screen just the basic entry leave radio. Do you think a OEM upgrade unit would also be plug and play?

Thanks. Super useful video with all the pertinent facts.

Hello Jamie, do you need unlock codes to use it?

Do you have a link for this screen? Thanks!

You **MUST** use **2** jack stands **EVERY TIME** YOU GO UNDER A VEHICLE!! I know a mechanic who was pinned under a vehicle in his own driveway, he was on his back and the jack failed, and it took over an hour for him to die { coroner's report }. I myself have had 2 jacks fail while in my owe driveway. One of those times I was inspecting the brakes, and the fender cracked me on the back of the head { I had my head under it }.

Aygo's are not really loud cars from standard.

Think we’re all here because we have realised we have bought a load of crap 😂

Hi I've just done the same installation as yourself but can not seem to get apple carplay to work any suggestions please ??

Activating foglights (1:36) is not done by pushing the stock forward, that's high-beam. Controlling brightness of the lights (2:53) isn't a thing either, that knob is for adjusting headlight height, which you might want to adjust with a full boot and rear passengers.

Why are you applying sound deadening to the bonnet? Surely parts closer to your ears and attached to the cabin would be a better place to start? Doors, roof, floor? Curious…

2:07 that DC5 😍

And leaking boots

Yyyeah maybe turn the jack 90 degrees so the car won’t actually tip over on you and do NOT work on gravel with such equipment. At least buy a 25mm OSB paned that would fit your jack and jack stand 😬😬I used to do it until my car fell from this stupid scissor jack and damaged the sill 😢

Appreciate the honesty, most reviewers are too worried about upsetting manufacturers to have the guts to tell the truth! Have been thinking about an Argo for some time, to reduce running costs, but safety is always my number one priority!!! This review has convinced me to stay with my Saab. My passengers lives are more important than saving a few quid!

It seems to me that noise coming from the tires is the biggest factor. I drove a Mercedes for many years and of course it was very quiet. Now I drive a Honda Fit. It is a nice little car, but very noisy at highway speeds, particularly when the pavement is rough. It is very noticeable when the road transitions from a smooth surface to a rougher one. My best bet would be to insulate around the wheel wells somehow, and/or replace the current tires with quieter ones. Also, I think it is not necessary to cover all that metal with the "kilmat" (smaller pieces would do it). The foam material seems a good solution to absorb higher frequencies, and the vinyl doesn't seem to be worth the trouble and cost. Thanks for the detailed video!

Appreciate the comprehensive guide and eloquent delivery, thank you! I've pondered doing this on a sister car... the older 107. As a wacky but half-scientific idea I'd like to compare the baseline with the (rear of the) car filled with cushions/duvets - just to see how much absorption they'd provide. Not a practical idea but interesting perhaps. Regarding matting over the wheel liners... if nothing else they provide a nice home for rodents - as I found out on my Verso - at least they chewed that and not the wiring 😂

Theres absolutely no point in adding MLV in plastic door cards if you don't cover it 100% plus MLV is mainly used on floors with as much coverage as possible

Hi Jamie. I have a 2018 toyota Aygo Xcite with a 2 button infotainment system. I have spoken with Vantage toyota and they have told me that I cannot swap it for the android auto one as it wont fit in my car. They are saying it is too big as it is for the new Aygo X. Yours has just fit ok. Can you help?

Thanks dude for making this video, probably one of the most detailed I've seen so far based on your effort and patience on soundproofing your car. Just to ask, how did those mats you placed along the wheel arches and liners? did those hold and stick on after a few months tilll now? Thanks mate.

Thanks for the review. Very helpful advice.

I dont have money for porche and i buy a aygo x-play june 2021 nanual !! I love it ...2024 december 81000klm and i enjoy it all bye me ....its funny but i love it!!

The Aygo MK2, especially the later face lift one with the 72Hp engine is very snappy. You have to be good at gear changes and learn the revs, but if you keep the engine RPM above 4500, you can race about all you like, the 800Kg kurb weight is very easy the thrash around if you know how

I saw the Resonix site a little while ago. Prior to that I was planning on getting Dynamat for my car. I've known about them for a very long time and they were who I knew the most about. After seeing the Resonix site, I chose to go with the Amazon Basics. It wasn't the best, but is better than Dynamat, as good as almost all the others, and really cheap. It just happened to be on sale when I was buying and I bought a lot, probably too much. In my mind, I bought about $1000 worth, in square feet, of Dynamat material, only better. This has given me enough to not worry about the cost when I'm applying it. I've got a 24 GR86. So far, I've done the rear wheel wells and the roof. I am starting to hear slight improvement. I know that is mostly placebo. I took some sound measurements before I started, I measure again once I am finished. When I upgrade the stereo, I'll pull out all the carpeting and liberally apply it everywhere. In my last car, I only did the doors. I'm looking forward to seeing how much better a whole car treatment can sound.

Every 10dB is noticeably half or twice as loud, because we hear and see logarithmically. 3dB is half or twice as loud linearly, or 1/4 of the noticeable volume change.

This test makes absolutely no sense! :D

Sadly they dont have my car model ita too old

I’m surprised none of these car insulating videos mention the use of spray cork used in marine insulation to do the same job but also make the car a lot more comfortable in harsh weather. Same thing goes to wool insulation. spray cork would have been easier to install, better at sound insulation, makes it thermally insulated and it isn’t toxic or combustible. No toxic smoke or melting issues with sprayed cork.

Hi mate we're did u get the bulb from

Random q, but just picked up a 2016 Aygo and a couple of bulbs in the heating/air con unit need changing (behind the blue curve of the temp control and behind the options on the right of the selector). Is that a straightforward job?

Wow , I thought I went mad when my Jaguar XJ ECU gave up and then bought an Aygo. I have never looked back as I halved my insurance Per Annum. My Jag cost £340 a year for Tax while my new Aygo is Zero money per year. £110 about what it used to cost me to fill an empty Jag petrol tank to full to get about 300 miles urban driving. Now with the Aygo I will pay about £55 for an empty tank to full and get 500 miles driving. Where can I go wrong anyone?

Is it just me who can barely notice the difference all this made? Im thinking about doing my '78 Cavalier but if its not going to make much difference, i might forgo it and avoid any chance of rust forming behind a poorly adhered mat

A 3 db change is a doubling or 50% reduction in sound level. Also, a friend put new tires on her CRV it made a good reduction in road noise. Cheers

Jamie Hi im just about to get my first Aygo Auto :) but im interested in the Arm rest where did you get that one from please

Great video ! How did you remove the air vents trim ?

I wonder how does it compare to mitsubishi mirage from the same year

Low profile tires have a higher sound level and are rougher riding.

Safety: as well as using axle stands, chock the wheel on the opposite corner both front and back of the tyre. Especially when working on a slippery, loose, or sloped surface! A pair of folding wheel chocks is cheap, or if you have scrap wood around you can make your own. A lot of sound deadening is reducing the pitch of the noise - that's what adding mass to a vibrating panel does. Low pitched rumbles are less annoying than whistles and hissing noises. It may not be much quieter to a sound meter but changing the timbre of the sound makes the ride more comfortable.

Thanks! Really helpful!

Have you got a link to this unit I'm just about to buy an Aygo and the only thing about the whole care is the lack of sat navigation/ phone connection thanks 👍🏻
