_Josh_ Member 11 Member For: 19y 2m 21d Location: Newcastle Posted 12/08/07 10:39 AM Posted 12/08/07 10:39 AM I have a 04 BA mk1 and over the last week or so its started to rattle, I have narrowed it down to somewhere in the front left hand side. I also have noticed that it only happens when youre not on the brakes, if you braking and hit a little but no rattle, but if your not on the brakes it sounds like the suspension is loose or something.any ideas??

This could be the rattle you are hearing.
