When i set off or accelerate in 2nd (normally below 2500 rpm) there is a slight bang/clatter/knock noise its only when i first accelerate.

off the gas and back on it makes the sound again any idea's what it could be?

Its a fabia vrs 65k on the clock and only just started doing it.

Thanks!

Lots of causes then huh?

Thanks for the reply

Is any of this dangerous? like i said the noisse only happens when i first accelerate like when the engine moves i get a noise like metal slapping on metal then nothing til i change gear and its gone by 4th

It turns out it was the DMF the dealer I bought it from is sorting it as I type and also offered to replace the clutch at the same time with no labour charge!

This exact thing happened to mine when I bought it.

A week after the new dmf and clutch were installed FOC by the dealer, dog bone engine mount went, fixed under warranty again thankfully.

lol there should be no labour charge!!! they are just taking the clutch off to get to the DMF, no extra work.

No doubt there will be an Invoice for the clutch !
