This is driving me mad. Can anyone help?
My wife's 1.4 A2 has had a solid knock noise coming from the front offside whenever going over a bump (or a pothole).
Originally I had a number of private garages look it over a number of times but they could not find anything out of the ordinary.
Firstly the anti roll bar bushes were changed... but knocking still persisted.
I recently had to transport a washing machine in the back and noticed that the knocking only occurred when hitting larger holes or bumps so I thought it might be the shock absorbers.
Now the top mounts have been changed and shock absorbers. They were totally wrecked. The garage said that the springs were a bit weak and that he had put rubber bungs to cushion the springs. The knocking still remained but not as bad.
Unfortunately it now as bad as it was originally and I can't think what else to change.
Any advice would be helpful.
