Hi Guys,
Last week my 98 Polo 1.8 started making a weird clucking sound.
It only happens when i release the accelerator, the sound is much louder when in gear then when in neutral.
However i dont hear the sound when accelerating or driving at a constant speed.
Noise is coming from the front left of the car.
Ive checked bearings and tie rods but they are still fine.
ANy idea what i can do to troubleshoot the cause?

Re: Completely Lost
If the noise is speed dependant then i would look at the box. Specifically the diff.

Re: Completely Lost
I only here it when slacking off the power though, there seems to be no sound when accelerating?
Could it be a question of oil?

Re: Polo 1, clucking sound
Get you cv joints looked at. Often an inner will do that. When it' on the lift look at engine mounts, dogbone etc.
