Help with clicking noise

[S3baddaman]

I ha e a 2009 s3 8p and recently has started to make a clicking noise when turning out of corner at slow speed. Also the car seems to wheel spin more than it use to asif the esp is off but it's not. Has anybody had something like this with thier s3??

The sound is coming from what seems to be the wheel arches there is no rubbing issues. It seems like something has come slightly loose in the suspension area but drives fine and solid at higher speeds

My previous vw did this and it was the CV if I remember right.

Awsome thank you I had no idea what it could be but atleast now I have a idea of what to inspect. Is it a big or costly job to sort out??

Take it along to a garage ask them to pop on the ramp explaining about CV joint and they will quickly tell you if it has play in it .

It could also be the suspension top mounts. My son had his replaced by Audi on his TT yesterday. The click click noise happened at low speed manoeuvres. Best to get it thoroughly investigated.
