Hi everyone, long time reader, only just signed up. I've got a nice Mk2 diesel vRS estate (in the correct colour - blue) 2012 year. Its 130k on the clock but otherwise tight as a drum abs been faultless. It developed a strange clunking noise, that stopped, and came back. Car has been on a ramp for an examination, a different garage for a broken front then a rear spring, and a clean MOT before xmas. The noise is still there, nobody has identified it and its DRIVING ME BONKERS. Its not there in a bounce test, but is when rocking the car hard left to right. Here's a video - about 35 seconds in and throughout you can hear it. It changes speed like something loose is vibrating up and down against the chassis or something. Beer for whoever solves my mystery!
