noise when reversing off drive at full lock

thanks i will try that.......i have sought a few CV joints but then i find "its not suitable for your car" ????? are they all different???? surely at least the diesels etc are the same ??? -
Hi ,when i reverse from my drive and have steering on full lock i get a clunking noise coming from the front wheel area,when i drive forward and put on full lock either way i cannot hear a noise....i suspect maybe a shot CV joint but dont want to pay out until i am sure....are there any more checks i can do?? cheers in advance.

TBH it sounds like your dpf cleared naturally by doing a regen like its supposed to do,i deleted mine and the EGR and had a remap so the lights dont come up any more,went thru the MOT ok......trouble is if i ever sell it i would have to inform the buyer.
-
all depends on the cost really,i'm sure the tester gave it a good whack with a screwdriver and decided to put an advisory.....if it was any near that bad he wouldve failed it i assume.

shouldve ripped out the DPF innerds and Then got the lights deleted when having the remap.

sounds trivial to me....probably a bit of surface rust and a over zealous inspector

I was gonna get a new one (£35 on ebay) in the end i took it off completely and now no longer have one,i can easily bang one on if i change my mind.....super easy to do........evidently the design for these left a bit to be desired and it is a common fault....same one on VWs.....look out for loads with the wiper pointing down to the road😄......

Steering wheel full lock left ,then full lock right,then drive straight and that usually clears it,by doing the initial work on the car sometimes a host of lights are thrown up,have they tried just deleting the fault??? -
i drilled the steering lock out in the end,the ignition cylinder is made of chocolate and the actual lock is steel so i guess like mine there is damage inside the barrel
