Is anyone able to comment on this noise?

 

ARB drop link would be the first thing I would check.

 

Thanks, AG Falco

Went in today, couldn’t find anything, he trimmed the left shock dust cover as apparently there is a documented issue on the Skoda system about a noise which can be fixed by doing this.

 

So the first time it went in it had left shock top bearing, left bump stop? Front brake pads and brake anti rattle things?

 

This time it’s the left shock dust cover modified and I still have the noise, I mentioned engine mounts to the dealership and they have checked them.

 

Don’t really fancy another trip to the garage as it’s kind of pointless, a bit annoyed at this point.

Depends how much it is bothering you, you could see about borrowing or buying one of these, wireless saves strapping thin wires safely.

Took it to my local garage today been taking my cars there for years.

 

The guy took it out on his own and couldn’t hear anything, got it up on the ramp and went around tugging on the arms and links and whatever, not sure what they are called? But he went around pulling all sorts under the car, everything fine.

 

He opened the bonnet and pushed on the car so it was bouncing up and down, nothing…

 

We went out in it together, nothing, I sat in the back, nothing….

 

When I have passengers in the car and its heavier it’s silent, when I’m on my own I can hear the metallic knocking?

 

The mechanic said everything looks newish under there and couldn’t find anything.

 

So that’s two garages now with the same result, all I know is the noise is there but I trust my local garage and if they can’t see anything wrong it’s baffling me even more ?

 

Recorded this today, any ideas ?

Nope doesn't open for me, haven't we been through this before, do you have to make it public or sumfink or do sumfink else.

 

Perhaps it'll work for others but I think others had couldn't view either, if you did sumfink before to get a previous one viewable do it again with this, if not sorry I've no idea, others might though.

 

nobody answers to my poor topic so i will post here, similar problems, any further suggestions?

My opinion is change the dampers in the set recommended and see how that goes. Of course the weather makes a difference, if wet noises can be less or more, if dry it could be less or more, if hot less or more, if cold less or more. VW suspension design and build isn't the greatest, you're lucky to get to 70k-miles, I'd never heard of damper "misting" until my wife's 2015 Fabia 11 month-old Dealership supplied and fitted replacement front damper were going to fail the MoT as they were leaking, the very reason they were fitted 11 months before.

My wife's car still has a clonk that was very loud this winter with below freezing temperatures particularly, much louder than any issues on the 10-50 year old BMC/BL over 40 years. Other Fabia owners have had these clonks and changed various suspension parts with no success.

How does a 2015 Fabia relate to your 2019 Karoq - they're both VWs.

If your dampers are shot they need changing, I'd change them as set with the gubbins above otherwise to fit the gubbins above you will be repeating the dampers installations, putting new parts with old worn parts often doesn't go that well overall and in the medium and long term, or even short term.

Tnx. I am already made shopping list. Maybe add something? All bushings are solid as rock.

Sorry I would not know without looking at a parts list and diagram and then not really know. The one thing I think I know is that I would generally buy better than VW use, (good quality) German car manufacture engineering went out with the end of the last millennium.

The old reliable brand names like Febi Bilstein are no longer so with them sometimes just putting their brand on a box of a part made by someone else, but I have no idea if that is the case with their suspension parts for all I know they might be good quality and great value, or one or the other or neither. I forget the brand mentioned if the dampers needed replacing again on my wife's 2015 Fabia. A mate had a 28 year old Toyota on factory suspension still and a previous neighbour had a small 20 year old Toyota on factory suspension too. Another neighbour 18 year old small Kia I replaced the ARB drop links as an eagle-eyed MoT tester saw a small split in one of the rubber boots otherwise all factory.

How are the springs?
