Thanks SA-GTI great info. I take it the fix worked?

Awaiting parts which are ex Germany. The guys that had theirs replaced already mentioned that the new mounts have sorted the issue out. I've got a pic of the (TSB)  which was up at a local dealer, will try to upload it.

They check for the transport blocks first which was the cause of some of the issues, if those where removed then it's the mountings.

Guys,

Just been out to mine. I've found these under the front shocks rubber boot on both sides. Are these supposed to be there (bump stops), or should they have been removed ?

If it makes any difference, mine has DCC and isn't making any noises, it's just that this thread has me thinking now  :grin:

GeorgeK will probably tell you for sure but they don't look part of the car or built to last 100k+ miles IMO. I had read in one of the other forums that these blocks were pink and yellow. Looks like it'll come off easy enough. Maybe easily missed at PDI if they're tucked under the rubber boot. Will taking them off be enough or will damage to the mountings have already occurred?  :undecided:

Guys did you have to jack your cars up to get the covers up that high? Ive just been out to mine and cant get the covers up high enough to see? I think we could be on to something?

Looking at Norbreck's pic, I think you might be able to feel it by giving the rubber boot a squeeze without having to jack up your car.

To be fair I jacked mine up with a trolley jack.

The fact that it's slotted makes me think it should be removed? ???
