Hello.
ive another problem in my a2... jesus... never ending problems...
the car does a clank when:
i go forward and break, then when i reverse, if its quickly, clonk..., then if i go forward quickly, another clonk.
it does the clonk only when i change the direction (forward/reverse).
it looks like something has slack.
i went to mechanic, and he tought it was the transmission (the wheel part).
he changed it, but the clonk remains.
less pronunciated and only in reverse, but it remains.
he now thinks it maybe be the hub (dont know the correct word in english).
when i mean the hub is the big metal piece where the calipers fixate, and he axle goes inside. maybe some crack...
never heard of a crack it that part.
maybe a bearing? if it was a bearing during driving i should ear something, no?
maybe a slack in the wheel cube/hub (dont know the correct word)?
Its my money pit
i had a problem with the pistons rings. no compression on cylinder 3.
engine open, problem fixed.
but... the oil consumption is there.
About 700 miles from max to min in the oil dipstick.
the fix was made 2000 miles ago. is it normal the oil consumption?
thanks and cheers from portugal
