Single Knock When Moving Off - gearbox/DMF
Lyons:
More noises.
A fairly loud continuous knock that gets louder/faster the faster you go- slows right down when moving slowly. It pretty much disappears under heavy braking and accelerating, and is loudest when you lift your fit off the accelerator.
I should add that the car is booked in next week, so I'm not after an Internet diagnose as I appreciate it could be anything. Knowing nothing about mechanical bits, I'm just curious as to what it may be.

From your description it could be a drive shaft! .
Interested not to hear if that cheaper bolt kit from awesome has solved the op original problem. I guess the cheaper option was upgrade to what VW had come up wit and the more expensive options is every bolt in the subframe

Well, the mechanic looked at it last night and thinks it's a gearbox issue or the DMF. He's to remove it this weekend for a better look.
Is the DMF common to go in the Mk5?
