About two miles from home this evening was driving along a flat well surfaced main road when it felt like something hit the underside of the car. Had the radio on at the time so didn't get to hear it clearly, but there was definitely a bit of a knock on the underside and a sound. Didn't notice anything on the road beforehand.
Shortly afterwards I started hearing a very quiet creaking sound from my front left (sure it wasn't there before - could be my imagination of course).
Had a look when I got home but could see nothing obvious. From experience however (see below) it could be the very end of the spring I suppose hidden by the 'boot' at the bottom (sorry, don't know the correct phrase).
Has anyone had problems with springs on MK6's yet? The reason it jumps to mind is that I had several problems with springs on my previous Polo and had to have them all replaced at about 52000 miles due to breakages. My Mk6 however has only done 2500 miles.
