OK so i've only had the car a week and a bit but there is a definate drivetrain clunk noise towards the back of the car.

I'm told it could be the rear diff bush or low diff fluid, but having done a bit of searching im panicing now as this seems quite a common noise/problem, and usually ends up with an expensive new rear diff due to some play between the gears & pinions in the diff itself

Anyone else get this noise, is this a known fault?

Thanks again,

After more interweb surfing.. words lifted from 034 Motorsport:-

APIKOL Performance Automotive Components presents our upgraded Rear Differential Mount System for the Audi B6 (A4, S4) chassis, and all Audi B7 (A4, S4, RS4) models. It is designed to eliminate excessive rear differential movement and cure the dreaded “clunkâ€

That'll be it, mines starting to do it a little bit aswell so its been on my list for a while. I'm getting the Apikol one

Thanks xyber, is good to know i'm not alone with this.. was seriously thinking "uh-oh what have i done? and why oh why did i not get the AA to check it over first?!" lol!
