I have a PD Jetta 5-speed with 640k-km. The car is well cared for and all normal things have been refreshed in the past. Full suspension, CV joints (GKN), LUK 17-050 clutch, TT control arm bushings, Lemfolder joints, etc.
I have a significant clunk on/off throttle that's at the drivers side front wheel. If you come on/off the throttle when going around a curve (city street, or highway ramp) there is a single loud clunk. It sounds a bit like gear lash. The car doesn't make the sound with the wheels straight ahead and aggressive throttle is applied or removed. Only during curves. The problem isn't new but I'd like to track it down.
The two things I can think of are motor alignment (I have not checked the engine alignment as per the manual yet) and a differential pin failure that I've read a bit about. Is there anything else to check?
Thanks
