Hi,
Just spent the whole day cleaning my 1998 1.8T 20v sport estate, which I love like a 4th child !!
The old girl has been looked after but I have been somewhat busy with work and stuff that I have neglected a horrible thumping / banging noise from the engine ( not mechanical ). I had the shocks checked and they are fine. The noise is not always present, but on uneven ground( cobbles or really poor road surfaces ) it sounds like my engine wants to break free and exit the car !!:confused:
New drop links were fitted last year in an attempt to rectify this without success. :aargh4: Could this be as simple as the engine mounts are loose or damaged ?? Or has anyone had the same problem who could point me in the right direction !!
Please help or I might put the old dear up for adoption. :beerchug:
