Some said a wheel bearing?

Could be, when mine went it wasn't a click, More of a Bomp Bomp Bomp Bomp,
The noise was only noticeable when turning left, after awhile it was there all the time.
The noise used to speed up and slow down with the speed of the car.


Get it up on axle stands so the front wheels are off the ground,
Start the car up and select 1st or 2nd gear and let it idle,
Have some one turn the steering wheel whilst you stand by the front wheel, you should be able to pinpoint what wheel its from,

Turn the engine off and check the wheel for play, although there wasn't any play in mine it was still the bearing.

Someone suggested top mounts?

[GTIcheeseman]

Right the clicking is now there when going straight and knocking when turning left but still f**k all going right! Really need help trying to sell this but can't in this state

Right the noise got louder so I can now actually tell its from the back offside rear wheel so I'm thinking bearings died??
