Mk3 VR6 - Rear Axle bushes replaced but the knocking returns!!!!

[RichyH]

Cheers bud, I'll do that tomorrow and keep you posted. Cars, eh?

Thanks for your help and have a great Christmas!!!

it's a long shot but try folding the back seats fully down. I have a similar randomly occuring noise that seems to be linked to the rear o/s seat back clunking around in it's mountings. worth a try.

Hey monkeyalan!!!!

Me thinks you may be a bloody genius!!!!.

Just driven the car with the seats down and guess what? No knocking. Have greased the mountings for now so we'll see how it goes. Did you do anything in particular to stop the noise?

Big thanks to you and "golfvr6-is-back" for your help. If this saves me a couple of hundred quid I can put it to some new cam-chains and tensioners as they're due!!!!

PS. One last question - how do you get the horizontal line and piccy of your car in your postings? Can't seem to find how to do it.

Right, I've tried everything to stop it. at the moment i've got rubber mats wedged under the back s to push them up and stop any movement plus i've taped the top bit that locks in . it still rattles a bit but not as much.
