this is the second polo, i have had, that there is a knocking sound
from under the car when driving.
is there a common fault with this model, i can not locate where the
knock comes from.
cheers

Fabias of the same age are very similar, and they suffer from front
anti-roll bar bushes that crack- the ARB rusts, expands, and cracks the
bush. That might be worth a look.

Paul,
I have had that and the local garage re-torqued the front wishbone nuts to
the correct figure as in the book ( plus a bit!) - cured it instantly.
