Hello everyone,

I've had my mk1 fabia vrs for about a year with no issue, no crash whatsoever. Recently however, I hear a mysterious knocking noise during mostly left turns and sometimes right turns and above 110kph (68mph). I suspected it to be some plastic trim that was moving due to the wind because the noise stops when i'm following a car but I double checked the entire front end and no plastic thing is moving. I can't find any consistent informations online so i'm asking for help here.

 

Every piece of advice/info is welcome.

 

Thank you in advance for your help everyone!

I will go and take a video of me trying to record the noises when they are happening this afternoon and post them here

 

there are the videos,

for the first one, the noise is at the end of the video, I feel like it sounds like a punctured tyre but I triple checked and my tyres are absolutely fine.

 

for the second one this is pretty self explanatory, above 110kph this noise appears and I don't know where this comes from.

Last video sounds metallic and something mechanical. When were your shock absorbers last changed, particularly the front ones?

 

If you think it is a panel loose, have you looked under your car? Check the oil undertray. I see cars with these loose, flapping around.

 

Exhaust rubber mounts (although mine seem in good nick despite age of car). 

 

Maybe get someone to follow you in another car to spot anything untoward under your car at speed?
