Oh joys,
and knocking noise! were my thoughts on the way to college thismorning!
ill describe the knock!!
it seems to come and go, it doesnt sound like an engine knock, and you can kind of feel it through the pedal!
it does it over sharp bumps, single knock or maybe two knocks,
but it also does it when you let off the power!! (straight away)
go home, and noticed that its really bad when reversing!! so i was reversing back and forth with the bonnet open to see if i could hear anything, didnt seem any louder with the bonnet and windows open!! was clunking rolling down the road (quite bumpy) and clunking on pulling away in reverse!
i finally found that if you rev her (parked) very slightly, it does about 5 knocks in quick sucession(SP) as it returns to idle,
and i hope this makes sence, but i was leaning over, 1 hand on the windscreen, and other on the throttle body giving it a little rev, and you could feel the knocks a lot more through the windscreen than the engine! (though it was obv vibrating on its own so that might be irrelevant)
any ideas??
i dont think its engine as it does it coasting over bumps,
i dont think its suspension because it does it while parked,
and i dont think its gearbox as it does it while parked!!
the only thing i can think of is exhaust is hitting somewhere down the line???
any suggestions?
