Knock knock knocking!! Help!!
« on: 23 January 2011, 19:20 »
P reg Gti anni,
2 visits to a local garage having clutch, cable and seals sorted due to slipping clutch....expensive.
After 2-3 days of having it back, I recently selected 5th gear and a knocking noise began, i moved down the gears then back up to 5th and the noise began again?

Gear box knacked? Hope not, any ideas and remedies would be great cheers

Could be a cv joint or the gearbox.

Chech the GB back mount.
Get under it and start pulling from the axels, and see If you get any noises.
