I have a 1.8T and when i drive at slow speeds i can feel alot of movement through the pedals and sort of knocking. Has anyone experienced this. I've had the suspension (Weitec) looked at and the top mounts changed and rod ends changed but they cant find anything on the suspension. What could make the pedals knock?

I had a vibration through the brake pedal once that turned out to be the ABS pump coming on at under 5mph but I also go a creaking/clicking noise front the front passenger side.
mine's doing that and it turned out to be the downpipe knocking against the bulk head, felt it more thru the clutch pedal. worth a look
Thanks Ricko i will get that checked before they strip my car! Can i ask does it almost feel as though the pedals are loose? I've had them checked and i know they're not but i can feel the knocking i just hope its something simple. I do trust my guys and they did mention the bulkhead so will get them to double check.
Have you had any work done around the cambelt area recently?
After my cambelt change, they left a metal hose rubbing on my brake pipes. This is a well know problem after cambelt changes etc.
I felt a knocking through my pedals at low speeds when braking.
Luckily after 3 return visits and a lot of dis-belief from the workshop, they found it. I think if i had left it any longer i would have had brake failure soon after as it would have worn through my brake pipe. I saw where it has been rubbing, and i have read of a few people loosing all braking at speed.
Might not be it in your case, but it was in my case!!

with mine it did feel like it was the clutch pedal was abit loose but i guessed it was the downpipe because i had been replacing the turbo and manifold. it only does it setting off and at low engine speeds, i think its because the engine moves about . i found replacing the dog bone engine mount helped with mine till i can sort the downpipe out
Guys thanks to this and JM, i have just had my cambelt changed yes so will speak with the garage, typical its close to Christmas and they shut up shop soon. I do a lot of mileage too so best try to get it in this week. Thanks again guys.
