Please take time to read as this is long as I wanted to put as much information in as possible. I’m praying someone on here can help me as I am loosing my mind trying to solve the problem with my car.
I have a fiat tipo easy 1.4 petrol 2017 done 63k miles with a knocking noise when pulling off but won’t knock if pulling off fast only when slow and breaking and sometimes when slowing down and driving a low speeds, this mainly happens when the car is at temperature and been driven for 15/20 mins I’ve not heard it when cold.
This started about 6/7 months ago and I didn’t think anything of it at first just thought the plastic rim may of been loose or something as it wasn’t happening every time, as time gone on it’s getting worse and louder,
I am starting to get so fustrated with this problem, this sounds abit excessive but I have taken it to 7/8 different garages/ people some have looked at it multiple times but have all given me different answers, only 2 of which have told me they can hear it but cannot find it,
The answers I have been given are following
Drive shaft
Top mount
Cv joint
Shock
Drop link (replaced)
Knuckle (replaced
Engine mount
Steering rack companion arm ( I believe this is what they called it)
Was also told it could be the gear box
When taken to the next garage I mentioned what the other garages have mentioned and they said there was nothing wrong with any of it and gave me another answer from the above list
As mentioned at the top the car makes a knocking noise when pulling off slowly/normally and when braking It doesn’t knock when pulling off fast (unless I can’t hear it due to the high revving engine) only happens when engine is hot and been driven for 15/20 mins it doesn’t knock when hitting a pot hole or bump hard, it has knocked when sat in traffic and I’ve been moving the steering wheel,
I believe it’s coming from the drivers side but sometime I feel like it’s on the passenger but I know sound can travel and make you think it’s coming from somewhere else.
I am running out of ideas on what to do and where to go next I have tried to complain to my finance company for a faulty car I got rejected cos I couldn’t give them a proper answer of what the problem is, I have took it back to where I have brought it from they are willing to part ex it but they couldn’t offer me enough to pay my remainding finance off so I’m kind of stuck with the car and this issue
Thanks for reading fingers crossed someone may of had a similar problem and can help me resolve this
