    Default Knock when taking up drive?

    Hi All,

    Been searching the forum to no avail so i'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction as to what the knock noise is on my 2002 2.2dti SRi

    When driving along if i back off the throttle and then accellerate again there is a knock noise when it takes up drive like an engine mount or something, someone said it might be the dual mass flywheel? dont think the engine moves so unlikely and engine mount, anyone got any ideas? cant feel anything through the pedals when it does it

    Thanks
    Andy

    Do you get a knock when you disengage the clutch fast too?

    Mine had the same and it was the Driveshafts.. Well - one of the two CV joints and I suspect the inner - but both were knackered so replaced it with a complete driveshaft complete with two new joints from ECP..

    Ah yeah, not thought about that, i once had a diesel focus that did that and it was the CV joint, will give them a check over, thanks!

    you could leave the handbrake on and rock the engine with the clutch to see if it is engine mount. Also visually inspect the mount hasn't become loose (had this after my DMF was replaced, tightened bolts and clunk disappeared.)

    This sounds like what happened to me. Went to 3 mechanics, was told rear engine mounting.. bull. Gear linkage gone and syncro mesh...

    Was the left hand inner cv joint for me. .

    tested it Putting the car in 2nd gear with handbrake off. then by pulling the car towards me until it engages and then push her back a bit. Its not a nice noise if i recall correctly.

    Hope you get it sorted quick enough though..
