About a week ago a knocking noise has started to come from the front of my A3. Initially I thought it was the gearbox as have recently had a recon one put in, however garage said not so.
It is predominantly whilst in overdrive (ie gear engaged but not accelerating) but not exclusively - can be whilst accelerating too.
Its a revolutionary noise - so gets quicker as you speed up, slows down as you slow - Bumps / turns etc don't' seem to make any difference.
I've been told its most likely to be the inner CV joint - does this sound right? I've been quoted £140 for repair inc labour - does that sound reasonable?
Cheers
