Hi,
I have just upgraded my old TDi 300 to a 2001 TD5 GS Auto.
I am beciming aware a few noises and wondering if they are signs of something that needs attention or could get worse.
1. While driving, for example going around a roundabout, there is a slight clunk from the front wheel arch area (left and right) as the body leans towards the wheel. I assume this is the ACE reacting and compensating. Is it normal to hear this? The vehicle has done 85k.
2. In the range 60 to around 68/9 MPH (2,200 - 2,600 RPM ?) there is a low level noise/vibration which seem to be connected with acceleration. If I take my foot off then is subsides. Again is this common to the TD5? If think the vibration may be there on the same RPM range in all gears but 4th gear (Auto) is a direct drive (?) so the noise is perhaps applified in 4th.
Any help appeciated - Thanks
