thanks for reply tt
to be a little more accurate. when changing gears, it makes a sound like the engine is engaging then re-engaging... (jumping like..) when changing gears sometimes.
if i was driving up to a speed bump in 3rd, slowed and changed to second, then it would make this noise...
if i was driving along at 50mph changing from 6th and to 5th or visa versa, and lifted my foot off the clutch reasonable quick, it would also make the noise...
Hmmmm . . . I do think it might be your engine mounts. Try and find a quiet stretch of road. If you say keep it in second gear, ie don't change gear whilst doing this "test" (and turn off the stereo
) just accelerate hard up to relatively high engine revs (say 4-5k rpms) and then fully release the accelerator pedal - but do NOT touch the brake pedal. Does it still make the clunking noise. Try this test in a perfectly straight line, and also, if you can, when going round a bend (a deserted industrial estate at night time is best for this - or Milton Keynes roundabouts!). Also, can you feel any thudding, even slightly, from the floor?
they said they actually changed the gearbox oil for *upgraded oil* (sure...)
Right, if I have worked out your car correctly, it should have a manual transmission with a code "KDU" (will be on your data sticker) - therefore the correct oil will be 2.3 litres of G 052 171 A2 - however, ETKA does NOT list any "upgraded" gearbox oil (though my version of ETKA is a little old, maybe 6 months out of date - must hunt for the upgrades - anyone speak Russian?
) - so it might be worth asking for a copy of the job sheet for this.
took a photo of what they said on my phone:
OK, looks like the stealer was having finger trouble too.
So it looks like I worked out the first two part numbers, but the third one just aint coming up with anything close!
BTW, what is
www.rockmyspace ? Sommat like photobucket?
