I just bought the car and have started getting to know it.
Only 5000 mi but has had a new bumper and hood installed due to a front end collision right in the center, no fender damage.


while going slow over road flaws mostly I hear a dead clunk sound coming from the drivers side front end, it seems like it is up high and between the trunk and the windshield wipers.


maybe a tool was left somewhere or is this a common issue with something else?
I did check inside the fender well and trunk everything is good there.


Ideas?

 

So I assume you took all the plastic covering over the battery area and sides and looked around in there? Battery secure? Also did you check the storage area towards the top of the trunk to see if anything is rolling around in there? Tool flat repair pump area secure? You might also check the radiators up front as maybe one of them is not secured correctly. There s a washer fluid container in the rear of that fender but I doubt that was touched. Nothing common I ve ever heard of. I understand those front bumpers do come off pretty easy FYI.

 

Ive got that too; on an 06 C4 cabriolet. Only when I'm driving slow and usually over humps like the ramp in the commercial garage i park in. It sounds like a tool was left behind my speedo cluster or by the wiper motors. Ive never found anything loose though.

 

Anyone figure out what this noise is? I have 2010 997 tt and have same noise...

 

Sounds exactly like what I had, sway bar end link was the problem.
