I'm posting here because, there are too many different VW forums, and they each have a million sub-sections, usually model-specific, and this problem won't be Golf specific.
I considered Pistonheads but I've found them to be uninterested in anything relating to actual car mechanics in the past.
So... any ideas on this? fast-forward to approx 4 minutes if you want to just hear the noise repeating itself while turning a constant circle.
It's my mum's 2007 Golf GT TDI.
On turning there is a very bad clacking knocking noise from the gearbox area.
Based on the vid, do we think it's likely CV joints, or the gearbox/differential?
This car does have a noisy DMF, but the noise comes and goes and is usually only in neutral with clutch out from what I remember.
It also has a groaning/rubbing noise on tight lock which sounds like a binding calliper, but I understand it is actually the differential and is typical and easily cured with a transmission fluid change.
We don't live near each other so I haven't been able to get the car in the garage and won't be able to until the weekend after next probably. I just popped by on my way to a job earlier today.
