Bag of spanners noise from rear

(1/1)

GTIEagles:
After driving enthusiastically today and going over a large hump on the road the rear end of the car is knocking and sounding like a bag of spanners on slight bumps.

Exhaust seems fine, any ideas?

exhaust hangers deserve another check and  brake dust covers :happy2:
check brake lines are in situ :happy2:

GTIEagles:
Thanks mate, I'll take another look tomorrow

Ricky123:
Also check heat shield above the back box. Every one of them have come loose on me on all 5 mk5 golfs I've owned.

GTIEagles:
Got my local mechanic to inspect it today and it has a snapped nearside front coil spring. I could have sworn the noise was coming from the rear! I guess they were in need of being replaced anyway seeing as it only took a large hump in the road to break it.
