"b6 audi a4" banging/thumping feel and noise when releasing throttle and changing gear rapildy

**Btaudi** · 25-09-2012,03:08 PM

Evrytime i change gear in my audi i have to gently accellerate to prevent this banging that is happening!! In other cases i release the accelerator and this bang noise happens again.. Its not a repetative bangin noise.. It just happens the once when changing gear or when releasing the accelerator.. Dont want to be doing any unneccessary work to the car until i know the problem.. Any help atal would be great thanks

You'll probably get more help posting this in the A4 B6 forum. i expect Esh may be along shortly to move this thread for you.

Have you looked underneath the car yet? If it's thumping on acceleration / deceleration, I'd suspect that one or more of the suspension joints or mountings is loose / worn.

I think the first piece of necessary work is either to jack it up and check all the suspension mounts and joints, or get a mechanic to check this for you.

You could also check the gearbox mounts - is the gear stick moving at the same time as the banging?

I didnt know how to post it on the a4 b6 forum.. Yea i checked underneath it and seen dat there was a rubber mount gone to the underside at d back of the gear box... The gear stick doesnt move when the banging happens but it vibrates alot when driving... Must get the suspension checked out.. Thanks for your help
