Title: Knock knock
Post by: VW Russ on 06 August 2012, 22:24

Evening all, wondering if you can help?

I have a 2008 gti with 67,000, it's amazing and never skips a beat. However, I'm occasionally getting a knock when I reverse from full lock and hit the brake. It's stating to become more apparent so think I shall take it to my friendly garage tomorrow.

It's appears to be coming from the near side front, wondering if the cv joint has worn? Any ideas?

Thanks

Loose subframe bolts.  :wink:

Sounds like suspension bushes to me

Thanks chaps.

I shall suggest them to the garage tomorrow. I had heard about the sub frame bolts actually when I first got the car. It would make sense.

Thanks again
