sounds like drop link/anti roll bar - is it particularly bad over road bumps - check out the second post down in the FAQ (click on the link in my signature to get there)

Seem to remember someone saying that fraud stealers regard these links as wear & tear and therefore weren't covered under warranty. ( but I could be wrong)

had ours done under warranty ....

Mines a 2001 model done 106Kand has just become clunky over speed bumps. I assumed that it might be the dredded drop links. Are they cheap and easy to change is my question. Or is it best left to a dealer/garage?

If your suffering from a "heavy Rattle" from the front in the centre it maybe that it isnt the drop links but it may be the centre roll restrictor on the bottom of the engine.

I would guess that it will be anti roll bar links,our car had the same knocking noises,just had ours replaced under warranty,o4 tdi and only 26500 miles.
