Hi there
Got a no 5 golf 2.0 tdi on a 54 plate. Purchased it about a week ago however has got very loud knocking/banging noise from the front of the car I believe however the noise transmits through the car. I’ve checked all suspension bushes and none have play, top mounts and springs are fine, arb and drop links have no play when tested with pry bar. Checked subframe bolts but all were right, checked track rods and read rod ends however no play. Also checked the exhaust to see if that was the cause but all mounts are secure and the exhaust isn’t hitting against anything.
The noise is Very annoying as it’s occurs on an road that isn’t completely smooth, sounds like a metal on metal banging noise. I’m literally lost for words with what it could be as I’ve spent ages trying to find the problem! Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks
