Default Clunk when starting engine.

About 1 time out of 3 I hear and feel (through the clutch and throttle) a clunk when I start my 2.7t. It is quite noticable when it happens and it occurs most often when the car is cold. The dealer has looked at it 3 times; once they found that the shipping spacers were still in the suspension springs but the problem didn't go away. The second time they simply said they couldn't find anything and most recently they told me it was probably the ABS pump or some other brake pump.

Does anyone else have a similar problem and do they know what causes it or at least how to recreate it so I could demo it to the dealer.
