Morning all,
One month into TT ownership and already starting to have some unfortunate issues [smiley=bigcry.gif]
Perhaps the most annoying, I have a grinding / knocking sound coming from what sounds like the front of the car, mostly when reversing or turning sharp.
I took it to a local inde and had the following work carried out;
"Supply and fit new nearside front and offside front upper suspension mounts and bearings.
Supply and fit new offside front anti-roll bar link (original anti roll bar link upper ball joint protective rubber gaiter split)"
Unfortunately the knocking noise is still there, the garage has suggested that the next thing to try / eliminate is the steering rack - but they cannot guarantee this is the fault and the work is non-refundable (as was the above work) if it doesn't rectify it.
He said the costs are four figures+ so it's certainly not something I want to get done if there isn't a guarantee that it will fix it.
Is there any way I can be sure it's the rack, or can anyone else offer advice on what else it could be?
My DIY skills are lacking to say the least so my option is only a garage rather than attempting repairs myself!
Also getting intermittent warnings lights on the dash :roll: Ordered a diagnostic tool which will hopefully arrive tomorrow and another thread will be posted !
