What is this creak/clunk? >>>
It started during the days when the Northeast was in freeze phase, but it still seems to be there.
Everytime I start from a standstill there is a slight creaky clunk (more like a click) coming from somewhere under the car and seems like from the front.
Initially I thought that the pads may be sticking and now I am thinking sway bar busings.
Any ideas? This is a 2004 TT 3.2.
Tx.

I have a VF Trans mount and stock motor mounts >>>
I could check the bolts on the VF mount and maybe even switch back to the stocker for diagnosis.
Car has 27K on it so I dont suppose the motor mounts could be shot? Besides, there is no vibration or anything ... car runs smooth.
Thanks for the tip ... will try that out.

I had a similar problem. Local performance shop did a "nut and bolt" tightening everything on the
car. This fixed the problem, but obviously I have no clue which bolt was the culprite.

This is a big suspect as that was an issue on my 02 225Q too >>>
Ended up replacing the stockers with the sleeve for the 1mm smaller Powerflex ones. Worked out great.
Will check those and lube the stockers this weekend.
