New Leon FR owner with a dodgy knock

[Fry Boy]

Just downgraded to a leon fr and it's got a knocking noise from the front end. It seems to be when the engine's not under load. Could this be a dog bone mount, engine mount or wheel bearing maybe? Any clues?

 

[Lodey23]

is it at slow speeds or when moving quickly?

 

[Fry Boy]

Erm can't hear it at high speeds but that could be due to wind noise maybe. It tends to be if i'm coasting or slowing down it 1st or 2nd gear.

Thanks for the reply by the way, this forum is a little slower than i'm used to on the help front.

This should solve your problem

That's narrowed it down to driveshaft, arb, cv joint, exhaust mount, engine mounts and dog bone mount.

Ok it wasn't dog bone mount. And now my engine management light's on.

When I had a part ex offer of a leon tdi I thought... fairly new VAG tdi engine.... bomb proof. How wrong was I.
