Ahhhh just when you thought you could have a few months peace your A2 delivers more work, the needy little blighter!
I have deep thud/knock, rythmical - like if you stuck a rubber mallet on your wheel and it hits the lower arm?... Its definately something going round and round!
It happens when i come off power and coast, cant decided if its happening with clutch in yet. Its stops when i put power down or brake. It doesnt happen over bumps and I cant see anything loose like undertray so far.
punching the accerlator on and off to rock the engine while going slow in first or second gerneates a little knock.
There isnt a vibration at all and car drvies brakes perfectly, mpgs okay. No recent work other than outer track rod ends 4 weeks ago and cam cover refit last week.
It sounds serious to me but no effect on drive.
Could it be driveshaft wear or gearbox output bearings? Anyone have an easy test for this?
Im going to keep driving until it get worse to help diagnose it as I cant take a photo of anything or video the noise so guess have to wait for failure.
Thanks fellow patient A2 owners.
