quicky1980 0 Posted January 7, 2006 not sure if this is an interior problem or mechanicle but i hear knockin every so often, it doesnt seem to happen at any regular interval. just random is there something loose possibly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 7, 2006 Probably... I think we need more info tho - maybe get a passenger to try and locate the noise... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selbekk 0 Posted January 7, 2006 if it's while driving, I'd guess the exhaust ;) That's what's happening with mine ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 8, 2006 Hmm. Knocking in the cabin whilst driving... Sounds dangerous! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quicky1980 0 Posted January 8, 2006 not the seat belt as ive had people in the car belted up. it seems to be from the front. its hard to explain the sound. Its loud enough to hear while driving and i can feel it slightly through the footwell, on the drivers side. sorry i havent put much info. i havent really looked at the car properly since its turned up. will look today hopefully Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selbekk 0 Posted January 10, 2006 turtles in the airfilter perhaps? Or small stones hitting the inner wheel lining? Or perhaps the wiper linkage? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quicky1980 0 Posted January 10, 2006 had a quick look under car, exshaust seems to not be knocking anywhere. Joints look solid and wheel doesnt rock. Damper is leaking slightly. Im wondering if the driveshaft splines have worn slightly? could this be a possible cause for the noise. noise seems to almost come from footwell area. It seems to only happen randomly, not when anything is turned on or even if i hit a bump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted January 11, 2006 iirc on the driveshaft you have a sleeve/collar , check this hasnt come adrift they often do and they knock about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quicky1980 0 Posted January 11, 2006 right turns out its coming from the driveshaft. i stuck my hand under the car and rocked the drive shaft and it seemed real loose at the bottom (near wheel) is this the cv joint? if so how much are these these days and how hard is it to change. Im relatively good at mechanics (changed cylinder head etc) but never done a cv joint Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
