Hey all.

My lovely 2001 is causing problems.

Whenever i accelerwte then lift off (even gently) i get a loud thunk/clunk/donk comig from what SEEMS like front left of engine bay but i cant tell.

Where can i look as it started suddenly and is getting worse.

Antiroll bar bushea. Control arms ans ball joints where changed abt 10k ago. Just done gbox seals and oil about 5k ago so im hoping its neither of those.

Thanks all

Check the "dogbone" mount on the underside of the gearbox #12 in this picture part number 6N0 199 851

 

Get underneath with a bar and recheck your last job. Make sure nothing has worked loose.  Depending on the quality of the part the wishbone bushes may not have lasted.

 

My suspicion would be the rear bush on the wishbone, or as nige says, the rear engine mount, or its link bar.

Thanks for your replies. As bad weather ive neither had time to use or check the car. Hopefully i will this weekend.  

comon problem on left side wishbone. they keep going on these polos/ cant handle the fast cornering round roundabouts 😛
