Astra mk4 hatch funny knock noise

Discussion in 'Astra' started by Matthew Moore, Oct 8, 2003.

  1. Hi,

    On me Astra at slow speeds i.e 5 mph I hear occasionally a knocking noise
    which goes once I accelerate. Its difficult sometimes to make it do it on
    purpose and it would seem once the car has warmed up its ok. Sounds like its
    on the drivers side but cant be sure.

    Anyone else had this?

    Cheers

    Matt

    Have you checked the condition of your exhaust and mountings ?

    Have you checked that the bracket that holds the front pipe hasn't broken or
    come loose. These are a big MOT failure.

    Could be something simple like a stone in the tyre.'
