Hi all,

I recently got my Mk2 back after some work, its now making a clunking sound when accelerating especially in first and second which it didn't before the work was done. This is what was done, for reference:

- Rear wheel bearings
- Serpentine and power steering belt
- Refresh of tensioner unit

At the moment not sure if it is to do with what was done or if its something more like engine mounts but would like to know people's opinions or any helpful hints that can help to diagnose the problem. Still learning my way around engines/mechanical stuff so any info would help.

Thanks.

Where is the noise coming from - front/back, left/right?

If you accelerate slowly do you still hear it?

What if you accelerate going downhill?
