Hi All,

New to this forum and indeed Audi ownership and would really appreciate you help.

I have had my A4 sport 1.9 TDI 130 tip(saloon) for a couple of weeks now and have knocking noises from the front of the car. It feels / sounds like its coming from the front passenger side wheel area but on occasions it travels to what sounds like the middle of the car or drivers side. It only seems to happen below 30ish mph when driving over bumps in the road, drains, speed humps etc and not every time, enough to be annoying though!!

I have taken it to a couple of places to get it checked out both by road test and up on the ramps but the feedback I’m getting is nothing seems obvious and wait for it to get worse. The guy who put it on the ramp said there was no signs of anything on the suspension or role bar joints / brushes and that it maybe in the shocks or drive shaft; this would need further investigation.

Also maybe unrelated but under braking there is sometimes a grinding noise, again appears to be from the front and / or a single 'Clunk / Knock' when the breaks are applied.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
