knocking up front any help ?

Also lift the bonnet and then just move the car a little on and off the clutch. This will move the engine and let you see if there is too much free play. When the mounts are shot, you can see and hear it move an inch or so.

you guys will never believe it/..loose wheels nuts!.......cant hear the constant knocking..


but i can hear a single knock when slowing down and braking lightly

[mollins]

never... never.... NEVER trust the tyre place to do up the nuts properly. they are so crud sometimes...

Gooooood

Good that you sorted it...And a cheap fix too! I agree with Mollins about tyre fitters. I always take my wheel brace out when they've put wheels back on the car to:
1. make sure they are done up tight enough
2. make sure the impact wrench setting wasn't too high and I can get them off again!

Aha! there you go!. I always nip up the bolts with a proper socket and wrengh on all cars so that 1 they aren't loose and 2, I dont want an irate customer ringing me at whatever hour asking me to come to where ever to loosen there over tight wheel nuts! Lose customers very quickly either way, loose or overtight. The symptoms that you initially described sounded like loose nuts, the Golfs anyway!
