HELP - TT front end noise I have recently started to hear a scary noise coming from my front end. The noise is something between a knock and grind and I believe it might be related to my clutch or trans. The car only makes the noise when the car is IN GEAR (doesn't matter which gear) and either decelerating or when I'm not on the pedal AT ALL. The noise will go away when I give the car any gas. The sound becomes quicker with the speed of the car, but is not related to the RPMs of the engine. Also, the sound is not affected by whether or not I'm turning or using the brakes. Does anyone have any idea of what this could be?
Another interesting tidbit: the sound used to ONLY start after I had driven the car at a high speed (70+). The sound is the loudest when I'm in gear, not giving the car any gas, and rolling along at about 30.
Any suggestions before I take this in with a blank stare and open wallet?
Thanks! |
