Odd noises

[Onge]

Hi all,

Can you assist?
Someone at work owns a MK4 golf 1.6 SE (new ish )
They are hearing clunging noises when they change gear, and a creaking noise from the rear of the car when they drive over uneven roads.

Any ideas what the noises can be?

Cheers

noises!!!! hhhmmmmm, the rear end could be the bearings/bushes in the rear beam, or spring or damper, cant really narrow it down, take a can of wd40 and spray areas mentioned (dont get any on brakes) then see if noise disappears!, clunking noises when changing gear, are they pressin clutch pedal??, sound stupid i know but some peeps get lazy and dont fully depress the clutch then wonder why they have difficulty changing gear, if not that then a clutch/gearbox prob???or broken engine mount causing engine to rick when changing gear??
