Hi, Im new here.. I have a new 08 gti which knockes when ever i turn left or right while drive and under hard braking and acceraating.. its also been back 2 vw in abrigde 3 times to have the engine cover replaced as that keeps snapping the brackets and the oil cap braking off.. 2 weeks ago when it was back in it had replaced O/S engine mount and N/S top gearbox mount. it still knocks and the engine cover has gone again now its the 4th time! VW have taken pics and sent them 2 VW UK but havent came back to me yet...

Any 1 had anything like this happen to them iv only done 6641miles and had the car since july..

If you look at the middle of the bushing, you will see silvery bits.
That demarcates where the black part of the mount that goes into the bushing has sheared off.

[AlanD]

You have 08 GTI at 18 !!! Fair play. Dread to think what your insruance is 

Mine is going in a few weeks for some work, how old do you need to be for the courtesy car as im going to need one to get back home (im 21).
