Clicking in 1st gear

Post by BenTheWombRaider »

Hello,

When i pull away in 1st gear gently up till about 2500/3000rpm i have a clicking sound that seems to be coming from the front drivers side corner of the car. I only recently had coilovers fitted so im not sure if it may be that or something different!

The car is about 3 weeks old, and i am worried.

Could somebody please help me, thank you!

Something like this?

I think it might be the flywheel...but could this happen to a car with only 1200 on the clock?

Yes! Look at my post here http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... 12#p111912

Also note that they initially suggested that it was not covered by warranty!

Good luck

Peter
