knocking under car/engine

[Jacky B]

I have got a knocking under the car/engine (on the driver side - I think) when i am cruising at a constant speed (low revs). Its been to two garages and they cant find the problem under the car but can hear it when its been driven. I think its a drive shaft, anyone else had any issues with the drive shaft?

sounds like either a rear engine mount or maybe driveshaft

Or could be a knackered bush (pardon the pun!)

might be the same problem myself and quite a few other people are having, see if your symptoms match these.

it could be your front anti roll bar's mate, just had this done on my beezer under warranty. Completely replaced the front anti roll bars because they said the bushes had worn!!! Only done 29k miles on a 1.4TDi!
GET EM TO CHECK IT!!!!

they would of just replaced thebushes surely? it is a strong possibility

 

[tdi_chris]

no the whole front anti roll bar system has been replaced! i thought it was just the bushes being replaces until they kept my car for two days and order new anti roll bars!! didn't charge to do it n i didn't care cause i got an Altea sport to rag for two days

cool job done then^^

I will book mine in again then and get them to look at that, i'd be quite surprised and dissapointed if mine were shot already only having done about 3k when it first started happening, now on 10.6k just to give you an idea at how useless they have been at trying to sort it.

Can't see me getting something half decent to razz about in either, more likely to be a 1.2 litre ibiza or a scabby punto diesel, that's been the trend so far anyway.
