Thanks for the reply!! Guess im gonna have to take a trip to the dealer!!

I have a "clicking" type of noise coming (as far as I know) from the front nearside. Harwoods have told me they believe it is a top suspension bush, but these parts are on back-order so until they get hold of one and change it I will not know if that is the problem! mole

I have the same problem, been back too the dealers twice and they can't get the car to replicate the fault when they take it for a test drive, and won't start take bits off to have a look until the fault shows up even though i have told them to strip the car.

I think this is the only solution. I will try to do this. If I have any luck, I will let you know.

Grr mine's just started doing this in the last couple of days!! Not very impressed, It's going to have to wait until after Christmas though, way too busy to have the car in the dealers! Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

update on my car. land rover managed to replicate the fault, they think its the A-pillar as there is a known fault where all the parts join. fingers crossed.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay in responding. The dealer took the car for a test drive and they identified the click/ clonk coming from around the rear O/S door. The service manager said he new what the issue was and said it required about 2 - 3 hours to srip off trim and repair. he showed some pictures of a metal section into which they pushed a screwdriver (or similar) and hit it with a hammer - presumably to realign something - looked to be around the rea jacking point but I've no more detail - sorry

Too bad Glasgow is far from Greece

Car is in today, so i will let you know tonight

Car was in dealers today for five hours, took bits off, poked around the A-pillar with a hammer and a screwdriver, done some banging. put the car back together and so far I am pleased to say, everything is quiet. It took three trips too the dealers, only because the car wouldn't do its party trick. But once the mechanic herd the noise he knew straight away where it came from.

well done stratstones.
