This issue has been raised before. Our 2001 1.4SE Petrol is currently in at the dealer for a fix on this. Symptom is a clicking/clonking when lifting off and taking up drive, happens in most gears but worst around town. I understand the fix is to bond the drive shafts in place.
The dealer tels me there is no bulletin from Audi re a problem on the petrol model, only the diesel. And that they can't detect the problem - which is hard to understand as it's pretty bloody obvious. I'm now having to go in on Saturday morning to take them on a test drive to demonstrate the fault, despite the fact they've had the car since Monday.
How many of you guys have had this problem (and had it fixed) on a petrol version?
Incidentally, the new petrol 1.4 Sport they've given me as a courtesy car doesn't have this problem - the drive train feels so much more solid. The sports suspension, though firm, also deals with city pot holes so much better than our SE, which doesn't seem to have enough suspension travel.
Cheers
