Clunking noise coming from the rear end

exhaust hitiing?

i get the same noise from my 04 2.0tdi 140

sounds like a big loose bolt knocking as i drive at low speeds and gets even worse if the road is bumpy,

i have looked under the car checked the exhaust and it is OK, i have had the boot emptied out and still the same,

i have even had my girlfriend ride in the back to see if she can locate it but it seems to be under the floor someplace

i just turn my radio up now just so i cant hear it because it does ya head in lol

anyone else had this problem and located the knock??

Try the rear brake calipers...rattled like hell on mine....sorted under warranty. HTH
