Ok bit of an odd one to me.
1993 TT auto
I’ve done a search and can’t find anything similar to this.
When driving my car every now and then I get a strange knocking noise. This does not occur on every drive and seems to be random.
The noise sounds like a knock (like something banging against the car) which gets faster the higher the revs go. I can ‘feel’ it when driving through the car.
On most occasions the noise seems to start either, when accelerating coming off a roundabout or when I hit around 60-70mph but accelerating slightly harder than normal (but not flooring it).
When the noise occurs it’s only on acceleration, if I take my foot off the accelerator it disappears. If I put the car in neutral and rev it I can’t hear it.
If a park the car after hearing the noise, put it in park, turn it off and come back later. When I restart the car the noise is gone.
The other day I drove 10 minutes up the road and the noise started. Parked it went to a shop came back and drove 30 minutes to where I was going with no noise at all.
I am leaning towards an issue with the gearbox possibly? Thought I would ask on here as hoping someone has experienced it before, or may know of a similar issue. Please help
Thank you.
