2007 Polo 1.9TDI - clunking noise during deceleration /acceleration at low speeds und

[Umai Naa!!]

You have to drop the rear shock out to inspect them, I'm afraid.

Righto then no form of visual inspection for leaks i guess unless it's hoisted.

I'd be looking for worn upper mounts, not so much the condition of the shocks themselves.

HELP HELP HELP

Guys I took the car in today morning to NRMA Motorserve to check out the noises.

Only the clunk noise while taking the foot of the accelerator after acceleration could be replicated at that point of time.

They're euro expert who drove the car says it's coming from the driveline but will need to keep the car to check it out in detail. The same noise which arises during braking actions after around 50 mins of driving

Could not be replicated at that point of time. He says it will cost upwards of $2000 if it's driveline related repairs.

He also could not say why the clunking noise while braking could not be heard or did not arise at night???

Sounds pretty strange.

Might be considered bad advice, so lets call this "what I would do" - keep driving it until it actually is a problem/is easier to diagnose. Until then you will probably just spend money chasing it.

Sometimes you happen to notice wear a long time before its an issue. It can be annoying, but its not necessarily best cost/benefit wise to fix it until its actually broken. (I realise this isnt always true, but sometimes it is.)

Thanks for that advice gld/gti I'll do just that then. In any case my plan was to keep the car till the end of the year n then look at options. I'll see how I go till then.

Thank you guys for all your support on all TDI issues. After 8 long years and 113000kms finally bid a due to my Polo1.9TDI and made the petrol transition to a VW1.4 90 TSI Golf manual shift.
