Clicking sound when taking off

[Fobio]

I thought it was something loose in my glove box, but after reading someone else describe it and sharing an old TSB about it, I wonder how many of you have it...hopefully the powers that be will realize this as well, and take care of this annoyance.

here guys.....I belive I have prolly one of the highest mileage and abused cars out there and you guys WILL experience this eventually , first in the form of one click....then it will progress to several clicks upon acceleration (mild) and on deceleration with gear change. it will only do it once per weight transfer ...meaning if you accelerate....and just coast to a stop it wont do it again. U then put it in reverse and it will reproduce the click(or clicking) or you accelerate and upon deceleration there is weight transfer back to the fron and it will re do it upon acceleration again. Check it out!!!! My car does it, so does phillyb, aaronc7, betelguese and a few others.....I havent come across anyone that has it as bad as myself (multiple 3-4 clicks) but then again i have 53k miles of abuse. Pass it on.

Nope, haven't heard it yet. I have just over 10K on my 08.5 MS3. Zero issues to date other than the windshield/cowl rattle which was fixed via TSB.

55,100kms on my MS3 and it's been doing 4-6 clicks for the last like 20,000kms.

no clicking for me just under 20,000km

Mine does it - how do we fix it? Ya, I know - take it to the dealer...

9k on my MS3 and no clicking.. (just the stupid crowl rattle...) Does it only happen when weight is transferred back and forth? Or if you shake the car left/right also cause this clicking? Typically it'll be the CV shaft or a wheel bearing... Hopefully it isn't the differential... I blew out my diff on a previous car and I'm paranoid about that stuff now lol.

I never checked shaking, so far it's just rotational direction change. I'll shake the car around tonight.

I had clicking. I though it was my front axel. Took it in and they simply tighten the from center from the wheels and it fixed it.
