Sorted! The knocking/creaking noise was down to me going down the steep drop last week! Oops! Our mechanic had a look it was something to do with the cradle the engine sits in. He tightened it up and problem solved. We have a lovely quiet car again. Mechanic didn't even charge us! Thank you for everyone's help. Michelle

Lol *something

Had another thought.... When we went to our mechanic last week for a new rad we were just leaving and as a 'woman driver' I didn't see a slope which was about a foot drop I went down it and I'm now convinced I've cracked someone underneath!! :( I just hope it's nothing too serious!

Hi

Hi! We are also new and live not a million miles away from you in Kent.

Not much of an update but we are taking the Fabia to our mechanic after work tomorrow. We have been out in it a few times and the more we think about it we have kind of drawn a blank as we cannot remember it making any knocking or creaking noises on the way home from buying it last week. Its had a lot of work down on it mechanically with its previous owner and I can't help thinking when they p/x'd it someone could have possibly sprayed some WD40 on whatever it making these noises. We used to have a Ford Puma and that have top strut mount problems and whenever we went over speed bumps or pot holes it used to make 'that' noise and this car doesn't do the same! Sorry for the essay, I am a born worrier and the more I think about it I always come up with a horrible conclusion!

Thank you again for taking the time to reply. Hopefully that'll be the problem!

Just to also ad it doesn't make any knocking or creaking noises going over bumps!

Thanks

Hello, I am also new to this forum.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Will contact our mechanic tomorrow and hopefully! won't be too expensive!

Hi all, This is my 2nd post on this forum (please see my post in the 'newbie' section) We have just bought a 2001 Y reg Skoda Fabia Classic (1.4) It has a knocking/creaking noise which we think is coming from the front. We have just come back from having a drive and my husband was moving the steering wheel from left to right while stationary. What could this be and how soon should this be repaired. Thank you in advance Michelle

Hello all, We have just bought our first Skoda Fabia on Tuesday night. Its a 2001 Y reg (classic) It was a big shock to get in it and discover it didn't have electric windows or central locking but I think i'm past that now! We are in Kent Kind Regards Mbmdp
