Heavy knocking Rear passenger side ?

[Spiezels]

Mate has a mk2 ph1 late 90's cant remeber the reg anyways....

When you first pull off, if its been parked or even stopped for a while at some lights. Only upto maybe 5-6mph then it stops.

Theres a heavy sounding knock, not sure what it is, maybe the drum isnt disengaged or the rear arm or the suspension or the shocks.

Anyone had this problem, he hasnt had any problems with handling etc but its pretty loud and wants to get it sorted.

Should he just take it into a garage or what, i'm sure they'll just take there time and charge him far too much but if we have an idea of what it is maybe easier to sort.

When you sit in the back as i did its just to left of your left cheek so rear wheel etc area,

Cheers.

Have a look at the rear shocks as you should see where the oil is leaking over the strut housing on the outside which will tell you it's fooked.

Your one sounds like it could be a warped disc maybe, but don't hold me to that. To find the fuel pump, lift up the rear bench and you will see a black circle housing on the drivers side with 2 wires connecting to it. Pop of the lid and inside will reveal the fuel pump housing. Don't undo the white plastic lid unless you know what you are doing.
