Car gone into dealer tonite to have a strange knocking noise looked at. it is coming from the front drivers side as as I can tell but only when I accelerate through the gears more pronounced when in fourth gear and putting foot down. Knocking noise then goes away once i have driven a few miles in other words when everything is hot I think it maybe the exhaust knocking and goes away as it expands when hot. Lets hope they find out what it is as its driving me mad it does not happen going over bumps so its not the antiroll bar bushes or suspension related
 
got car back from garage needs new anti rollbar bushes and linkages which are now on order and car booked in for next wed thank goodness for the warranty I have saved a lot of money not sure how much it would have cost but it sounds expensive
 
anti roll bar and bushes replaced today at my local VW dealer total cost £160 the labour cost was £60 they seem to charge £60 an hour which is alot less than Audi dealers.
