Clark sound heard when turning

[Skoder]

Hi,

 

I have this problem when turning out of car park. A clark sound is heard

each time I turn out. And it only happens when I turn out. After that no

other sound. It not the brake thing....I think it is be'cos the engine is cold

some how, the steering wheel thingy goes "clark" Doesn't sound like this after

engine warm up.

 

Dudemobile has got this prob too. Care to advise?

[Koolaba]

is it due to worn out drive shaft cover?

When you turn out of the car park, are you on a flat road or slope?

[Ace_t]

do you know which wheel and does it happen everytime you turn? Or is it at a certain angle when you turn the wheel.

Perhaps you've a worn out bushing or steering joint.

I had a similar problem and was found that a bushing damping a bolt had come loose.

 

Replaced the bushing and voila.. no more sound.

Mine is only when I turn right after reverse parking the car in the lot. Car's at CA today, hope they sort it out.

People,

 

 

 

How can worn items occur when their cars are SDZ reg Octys ???

Hopefully is not manufacturing fault. All recent registered Octy do take note.

Yah man, got the car back from CA and they couldn't replicate the noise, so didn't fix it. They said that they checked everything on the front wheel drive and nothing was wrong. Guess I have to find a way to replicate it 100% so that they can see it an repair it. Dun want them to keep taking apart the front wheel assembly only to put it back without solving the problem.

 

Must check the UK VAG sites to see if there is a recall on this.

i think something in the steering wheel needs tightening.

 

ever encounter the same.

I had a similar problem with my elantra, but the car would also skip a bit when turning out from a parking lot. But my octy now doesn't skip but just the clank sound. Like skoder said, it only occurs when it's cooled down. Not when it's hot. So by the time reach CA, car hot already and can't wait to demo to them, maybe try this sat..

[Acemundo]

for my case, it occurs whether hot or cold, and does not affect the driving, sound heard only when steering is full lock left/right.

 

i told my agent, they tighten up, no more sound.

[Skoder]

Flat on the car park.

[Skoder]

hope, it's not the manu fault. or else got to cycle to work

There are some recall of Octy in UK due to crack in brake Vacuum supply pipe. Check the VehID.

Hi dude,

 

nice to meet you last sat. only after meeting you and telling me abt the

clark sound, do I notice it. My poor Octy... Actually, I tot you

r talking abt the brake thingy, but after experiencing it, it's definitely not

.It is not the clark that irritates me, but the

snow ball effect that it may lead to. Who is in a

better position to advise when CA themself is unable to solve?

[Skoder]

Thks raptor,

 

for your info. will check and keep you guys updated.

Cheers

[Skoder]

Thks Acemundo, even if I tell CA abt it, I seriously doubt that they know

how to do it. They just doesn't sound or look like PRO to me....Heard too

many incompetency abt. them already...

Rite on Man DAMNNNNN to the "CLARKKKKK"
