I used a self tapping screw into the chassis

you can't beat it for economy, I can get just over 300 miles to half a tank, and the economy on the mway is great, coupled with the power you be hard pressed to find a better car.

does the ecu run windows? is this why it needs rebooting at intervals? is there no service pack out for it yet or a million hotfixes? ;)

being built !

prolly a substandard engine mount

yes the squeak from the suspension is a 'feature' of the car, always happens when wet or damp, or icy. Shocking if you pardon the pun.

the 'cnuts' should have a recall for the suspension clonking and something positive should be done in getting this issue sorted. As it stands now, I will not purchase a VAG based car for the fear of something not getting sorted satisfactorily.

yeh it might be so that they can keep up with other manufacturers decreasing 0-60 times lol

at the end of the day, the model is due for replacement soon, so the parts bins are prolly running low. There are benefits of having less parts - lighter, means faster !

its only there imo to hide the fact the engine is a 8 valve not a 16 valve. If you didnt know anything about the car, and saw the engine with the cover on, you would think it to be a valver.

did you find anything in those quarter panels that could potentially work loose, and cause a knocking sound?

cheers appreciated

Hi Does anyone know what the torque settings should be for the top strut mount please on a rear shock abosrber. The one that fastens the mount to the shock. thanks very much. Jim

just leave it be, it'll start rattling and falling apart in no time on its own! 20K in on mine, and its frankly awful.

Sometimes I like to drive round in peace and quiet, looking at changing my car for a Honda Accord 2.2 I-CTDI, had Honda's in the past and never had an ounce of trouble, apart from refuelling, consumables and servicing. I shouldn't need to be replacing exhaust rubbers, shock top mounts at 21K...

thanks for the replies and help. The car is neither lowered or had an aftermarket exhaust on, its totally stock. I will look into the exhaust and see if it is banging on its mounts, if it isn't I will replace the shock top mounts and see how that goes. thanks again
