Right, I know this isn't a tech forum, or vehicle specific, however I don't frequent any others and quite a few VAG drivers on here.
My B5 Avant has developed a rattling, metallic, clunking noise from both front corners. Had the car jacked up and checked all bushes (they're a bit worn but limited movement), can't see anything loose in particular.
It happens over bumps etc, usually once the car has warmed up a little. It stops when braking. Read online the brake pad retaining clips may fail, and the pads may be loose. They seem pretty tight in however? The heat and stopping when braking does lead me to believe it may be the pads.I changed them under my ownership and didn't notice the noise before. They jsut seem pretty tight, and so does my mechanic.
Can anyone suggest any other ideas?
