I get a clunk from somewhere in the back of the car when I change directions - forward to reverse and vice versa. It only happens once, and after the clunk everything feels solid.

Any suggestions ?

Everything felt solid after the clunk? hmmm.........maybe something with the rear shocks..........?

Have you checked your cv joints, mine made a similar clunk before needing replaced.

Mine does the same and I know it is the rear brake pads moving in the caliper. Apparently a 'liner' should have been fitted last change and you can hear them move from forward to reverse and back again. I will sort it out next time round. Maybe the same for you? Adam.

It's the brake pads moving in the caliper. Nothing to worry about.

Word. I have the same symptoms.

Me too. It's annoying as hell.

It developed a few months after I had the pads changed.

Any suggestions on differentiating between CV's and pads with the car jacked up ?

my tech tells me move the axle towards, then away from the transmission. if the CV's are bad, you'll hear noises.

I was gonna say there are retaining pins to hold the pads in place, but that's in NA's for sure, not too sure on the turbo.

Do you mean push it in and out ?

I still think, that from his description, it is the pads. BTW, the S2 and 951 pads don't have retaining pins. The have a clip at the top of the caliper that pops out, and the pads slide out thru the top to change them. Very easy to change pads in just a couple of minutes.
