Does this only happen when you accelerate right? Go round a large roundabout and accelerate round it.. If so, I'm pretty positive it's the driveshaft causing the problem.
If it's only when you turn right you hear it, probably wheel bearing.
If it's when you turn tightly and are pulling away then it's a cv joint.

Think everyone has the same problem with the GTi, mines was absolutely shocking in the cold. When you put your foot on the accelerated very lightly on a cold morning it would be very rough (not smooth).
It was horrible and pissed me off incredibly. I searched the forum about it and read that it was pretty common for the gti to do this.

I've been with the Admiral group for the last 5/6 years, can't fault them at all.
People often say their customer service is bad, especially if you need to claim, but I claimed for a total loss (stolen car) last year, and they paid out in a fortnight, and gave me more than I paid for the car over a year earlier.
Always English people o n the phone too, no hassle at all
Their claims department is fantastic.
I don't like how they won't charge you to call them to take out a new policy but will charge you to phone their customer services and claims department..

Yeah, I know what you are saying, but insurance brokers have had my premiums for 32 years now and I've only ever had one claim for £600. Touch wood!
The more of those you get the better for everyone's premiums. So if Admiral Elephant targets a large amount of those drivers it's good news all round.
They do also only replace modified parts with standard.
Which kinda sucks
only down side about them. Their customer service sucks too, I always get put through to foreign people and they sometimes struggle to understand what you want..
-
I suppose it must have something to do with size of the company and the amount of drivers they cover. If they get loads of drivers on their books and have less percentage if payouts they can reduce the premiums.
Indeed this but on such a large scale!?
Even paying monthly it's still only 2k which is still huge difference to 5k!!
I'm policy holder, registered keeper and owner.
My Dad and Auntie are on the policy as named drivers.
I've had one claim, not fault.
In 19 and have been driving for one year and 8 months.

They don't have different mount points, it's just the spring rates that are different.

Hi,
Will a gti block and box fit in a lupo sport?
Engine will fit but will gearbox? (6speed)
-
I think you should find a place which offers four wheel alignment after replacing the bits which are causing the clunk.
Gonna take it back to hypertech where it was done before, they have a hunter machine.
Didn't want to get it sorted until the right turn noise is gone because if I had to strip the carrier off again it would be utterly pointless; waste of money!
-
I'm gonna replace the outer CV joint tomorrow after work for piece of mind.
Will keep posted
