Here guys this only started happening about 3/4 days ago whenever I go over any type of bump or pot hole there's like it's hard to describe the sound but it sounds like it's coming from under the hood, or round the front driver side wheel like a creaking sound doesn't sound like it's going todo harm but it's very annoying :/
Any one can think what it could be?

Its not this is it: http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... ld#p123488" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Faulty spot weld, mine was coming from the rear of the car, but that has been an issue in some cases.

Most common culprit on VAG cars is either a broken spring or a strut top mount.

At least it's not an expensive thing to change the mount and bearings. Personally, I would replace both sides.

Here see the sound I'm describing it sounds like plastic or something
Tbh I'm not sure it's the mount whenever I'm driving and have the window open I can't hear it from outside car
But whenever I have window up and I hit uneven ground I can hear it
But it defo sounds like plastic or something :/ I've checked all panels inside car to see if there loose but none is
Think it could be the plastic top on engine?
