Hi all, noticing a clicking or knocking at low speed, normally as I'm pulling out of a junction or parking etc which at the same time I've normally got a reasonable amount of lock on (seems worse on right lock than left, but seems to happen on both). I'm presuming this is likely a cv joint or possibly ARB related? Are there are common issues on A3's for these parts?
It's an 05 Sportback sport tdi and covered 93k. I thought this was a bit early mileage wise for a cv joint/drive shaft needing changing? I gave it a quick visual inspection when i got home this evening and couldn't see anything obvious but thought I'd post as it seemed notciably louder today (after a bit of spirited driving) and I'm taking it to Wales on hols in a week's time.
Any similar problems, alternative suggestions, checks (I know the driving round on full lock slowly in a carpark to check/listen for the cv joints) etc?
cheers,
Andrew.
