I have 2005 2.0L TDI sport which has developed a noise that seems to be coming from the O/S/F. It only happens when the throttle is applied (not when coasting) and initially I also needed to be turning right. At low speed it sounded like a clicking noise, at higher speed it sounds like rubbing and grinding. As time has gone on it has got louder and now happens when driving on bumping or even undulating roads BUT ONLY when the throttle is applied.
My mechanic and I assumed it was the O/S/F outer CV joint which we replaced..to no avail. There is no play in any of the joints. The only thing we did notice was that on startup the engine moves quite a bit in the bay although all the mounts seem ok.
Has anyone had similar? What was the solutioin?
Cheers!
