So I've got an Audi A3 sportback 2007 2.0 litre TDI
... with a horrible clanging noise.
It happens whenever I go over rough terrain, potholes, grates in the road, speedbumps etc.
It comes from the rear of the vehicle and when the windows are down you can seriously hear it like metal hitting metal multiple times.
So I did the obvious thing and took out the spare tyre - hey presto sound vanishes.
As soon as I put the spare tyre back in - BOOM back again.
The spare tyre is a space saver and its screwed in like there's no tomorrow - mega tight.
The plug that the spare sits on has some movement in it - is that normal?
Im just at my wits end with this noise man, if anyone has any advice it would be hugely appreciated!
Cheers TAR.
