Hi Briskoda forumers,
Unfortunately my Fabia has an ongoing clunking/twanging noise at the front. Its a very temperamental noise, sometimes it'll never happen on a journey and sometimes it'll clunk 5/6 times in a few hundred yards. Its done nearly 140k.
It has been to a VAG specialist and he could not find anything wrong.
Symptoms:
Over bumps, not necessarily potholes (most cases)
When turning round a roundabout, not slow speed turns (again, very rare in this case)
When I accelerate hard in second and come of the power (front of car dives, this is also quite common)
I've been under and checked:
Top mounts, there is a little bit of movement in them, few degrees either way. Is this normal??
Console bushes, seem ok.
Drop links changed recently (high quality ones).
CV joints, cant really tell. Boots aren't split.
Steering seems tight.
Ball joints seem tight.
Engine mounts? They seem very slack and bouncing, could this be the cause??
So shall i change the top mounts and see if that helps?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Will
