bossjohnc Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 The knocking: If you're talking about a loud knock when turning and moving slowly (usually when manouvering) especially when reversing, then most, if not all GTIs have this. Don't know what it is though!The rattling: Errr... well where's it coming from??! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Knocking and rattling could be anything without hearing it - CV boot, CV joint, shocks, tie rod etc etc etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem, had them tightened and problem solved.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev_Ush Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I had that when I first got my lupo. Turned out to be a cracked g/box mount. The VW dealer thought it was my suspension at first...they ended up stripping the whole front suspension but couldn't find anything, 3 days later they discovered the cracked g/box mount. They said it must have been a faulty mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
