Mk2 gti 8v knock!!

[Jonoyorko]

Hiya again, after sorting out earth problems after installing engine,
It has now developed a knocking noise when I lift off acclerator and
when cornering at low speed is this engine mount failure??
any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Any chance it could be a CV joint, knocking when cornering is a classic symptom.

Just had CV joints done, more noticable when taking foot off accelerator

Check that the exhaust is not hitting the floor anywhere, and especially where it goes over the rear beam...

Coming from front end for sure!

Hitting the bulkhead?

[Jonoyorko]

Why would hit the bulkhead? Would a engine mount cause the knock?

[JimR]

So many things it could be, knackered engine mount is one of them. Did you inspect them when you fitted the engine? Are the bolts done up properly? Go for a drive with a mate in the car to see if you can pinpoint better where the noise is coming from.

Sounds like a loose or knackered engine mount.

I reckon Gear box mount
