Also the car is driving perfect, no skipping gears , smooth gear changes , everything seems normal .

Did a bit of further investigation and something the scares the s**t outta me , what looks like a small hairline crack along the metal over the plastic sump , it doesn't look like oil is leaking out of it looks dry around it , can these cases get small hairline cracks that don't go the whole way through , so they actually don't leak ? Surely the would be fluid marks running down from the crack , and there is also never oil on ground underneath the sump

Danish started following Clunking Sound when Turning Wheel

Hi guys, this is my first time joining, and my first time posting. Definitely won’t be my last time. This is because I just recently picked up an Audi a4 B8 saloon 2008 and I’m loving it apart from some problems which I’m trying to solve. I do things myself DIY, and I need guidance for this issue. I will attach a link from my YouTube with this issue. Whenever I turn the wheel I hear a clunk from inside the car I’m not sure what it is. I’ve read multiple different opinions based on what it is but I’m hoping for some more help. Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you so much. I’m still getting used to this platform so if I take time responding, please bear with me thanks again guys

I've had bad experiences in the past but this consultant has gone out of his way to book repairs and do free of charge repairs to try and fix this issue! - Bought it in October last year but had issues linked to this and all free of charge repairs to which I am grateful for! I think I've just had some bad luck but it's hard to tell but the technician telling me that has sort of made me go crazy Other than this, it's a great car but just a super annoying noise that sounds like I am sitting on a springy bed at times - thank you again for all your help! -

I am not aware of alarms for gearbox oil level, only for engine oil level, but maybe I am out of date on that score. Maybe somebody else will chip in with an opinion.

The "consultant" is not trying to help you. He is trying to palm you off with excuses to avoid having to fix the problem which will cost his company money and reduce his commission. Look beyond the sharp suit and the fancy title, and you will see he is just a secondhand car salesman. A breed with a well deserved reputation for being economical with the truth. If you bought the car in the last 30 days you are entitled to a refund or a free repair. -
I’m still learning “to drive” this forum and don’t know how to search it yet lol

Yes the reflectors are fine and lenses are pretty clean there is no “smoke stain” (all I can think of explaining what I mean) on inside face of glass. I will order new bulbs at least then I know they are ok thanks again for your time 👍

Smiles your not wrong it already looks so much better happy days

Thank you so much - It is driving me crazy and the consultant is doing his best to help including getting a second opinion, I was a bit confused when the specialist told me it's normal and it's just tension when the courtesy car and my previous aygo have made any of these noises! -
Ya will do thanks . I'd imagine if it was leaking for a long time I'd have some alarm by now.
-
Fair enough, but if you began to see oil spots on the ground where you park don't delay doing something about it.

hi has anyone out there got a 16" space saver wheel pcd of 5x100 for sale or would like to swap for a space saver wheel 5x100 18" not used if so please let me know cheers
-
Never get an alarm in the car for low level gearbox oil , and no trace of any oil on the ground where i park , think it might just be a case of a sloppy mechanic when last serviced , which was 45000 km ago . And haven't had to top it up since .

Thanks Brian, Autodoc has had mention in relation to the supply of incorrect parts. I’ve never been affected by this, because I don’t buy from them, preferring not to pay highish postage charges compared with other suppliers. Regards, Gareth.
-
Absolutely Martin - it’s your car, and you are free to do with it what you will, and my feeling is that any advice given ( when asked for) which doesn’t concur with your views, will be ignored. I certainly won’t be chasing you again for a thread-closing update, since I feel the tread will remain as ‘unsolved’ anyway.
-
Just an update, I've got hold of a audi tech as a foreigner and he has told me the one I ordered is general part and not the exact audi part no. This has now been ordered and should arrive on Monday. But I now have a power steering warning light as well, I'll keep the thread updated and if the new ring fixes my problems I'll place the part no in the feed
-
Glad you got it sorted out.

Its with an auto electrician atm so I'll let him know to double check that Thanks buddy ill let you know if it works or what the issue was otherwise Best Saad
