Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Amarok clunking noise when slowing

    I’ve had a look around and can’t find anything similar. I’ve recently bought a higher KM 2014 Amarok highline (Auto 4motion). It’s been trouble free except one weird thing it’s started doing. When I’m slowing down (eg approaching a speed bump or intersection) it sometimes much a clunking rattle sound that appears to be coming from the rear end. It’s really strange because it’s intermittent and that also makes it hard to figure out what triggers it to happen. It’s kind of a mix between a clunk and a rattle. From what I can figure out it SEEMS to be if I’ve applied the brakes to slow down and then let the brakes off and am just slowly coasting into a round about etc. When I accelerate it stops and if I come to a complete stop it doesn’t continue. I’m by no stretch a mechanic but I am reasonably savvy on the tools so if someone could point me in the direction or where to start looking to diagnose that would be muchly appreciated!
