I had my DMF replaced on my DSG T6 under warranty and have had a knocking coming from the van ever since. There wasn't any knocking before the DMF was replacement.
I'd rather sort the issue out myself as it's a 5 hour round trip to get them to look at the van, plus the cost of fuel (at least a tank) plus the same journey with a courtesy van and another tank of fuel if I have to leave the van with them.
I can hear/feel the knock through the pedals on harsh bumpy ground and when I reverse down onto the road from the driveway/path with right hand down.
I'm tempted to book it in for a dummy MOT to see if they pick anything up that's loose that I may have missed. I'm not being believing that the timing could be a coincidence and that it could be a bush that's gone but until I get it sorted I can't make that call
So far I've checked - subframe bolts, hub nuts, shock to hub bolts (T32), brake caliper bolts, ARB mounting/clamp bolts, drop links, lower wishbone bolts. I'm going to check all of these again but I'm just wondering if I need to check anything else? Engine mounts? Shock top mounts (under the bonnet) maybe?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
