Hello all,
Driving home from work today in traffic and I noticed an odd vibration through the clutch pedal on a neutral or trailing throttle. This has progressed to an expensive-sounding knocking and clattering when the car is stood at idle, or on the overrun, or under engine braking. When changing gear, a vibration can be felt through the pedal when taking up the drive.
I've taken a quick look under the bonnet, nothing obvious amiss apart from this horrendous noise; the noise seems to be coming from somewhere around the top left side of the engine and while the car was idling, the noise suddenly stopped and everything sounded perfectly normal. Aside from this horrible noise, everything drives normally. When I gently blipped the throttle, the noise resumed.
Does anybody have any thoughts as to what the likely source of this might be, and how much my beloved A2 is likely to cost me, this time?
