MK2 Leon Cupra - Clicking when torque applied and let off & apparent engine movement

[Chris_Cupra]

I know another couple of folk local with Cupras. Will compare mine to theirs when I see them next just to make sure.

I just thought it was weird that mine moved so much more than the engine in the older, higher mileage MK5 Golf GTi

That sounds like an engine mount-more likely that of the passenger side as you describe-has become loose...
Have you done a lot of launching the car from start and in the dragstrip...???

..like i sad, i been to my dealer i they check everything i they did a test drive, only one thing, when you want drive hard, you must turn off the ESP!

Not really a lot, but it has been launched a few times, for sure.

Loose wheel, caliper?

 

[Al]

Wheel is on fine, but I guess the caliper may be possible. Could certainly check that too

Did you find the cause of this as mine has just started doing exactly the same?

 

[Al]

Loose driveshaft.

Not sure if this is the same but I get a metallic click noise but I only notice it when go to pull away forward or reverse.
I thought it sounded like my front pipe was moving or something.
Was it the ring of bolts that was loose on the driveshaft Al?

As I remember, there are spline bolts on the drive shafts coming out either side of the gearbox. These seem to come loose causing space for movement, hence the clicking.

I will check mine this weekend. I checked all subframe and mounting bolts and found 1 very loose subframe bolt which stopped the clunk I had but still have this noise.
Thanks.

Would be surprised if they have come loose on a car as new and low mileage as yours unless it has been abused.

 

[Marshall]

Worth a check I suppose. It's only done 4.5k

Found out today mine was being caused by a missing bolt on the front exhaust mount. New bolt in & noise is gone. Quite relieved as I was thinking it could have been expensive

I have a clicking noise in my cabin, only seem to notice when Im setting off. Doing my nut in!

 

[Marshall]

My click when reversing was the heatsheild under the front pipe needed adjusted.
And my rattle in the car was the glossy bit on the rear of the passenger seat which I have now cured. Can you believe it a rattle free Leon!

I think its the drivers seat that is rattling - how did you fix it?

 

[Marshall]

I traced mine by holding the bottom part of the glossy part which stopped it.
So I unclipped the leather cover underneath at the back very easy just to plastic bits that clip into each other and I packed some foam up behind the gloss trim which cured it. Took about 5 minutes.
Before you touch yours I could press my glossy bit in and out at the bottom showing a little bit of slack causing a click noise.
If yours is different this may not work for you mate.

Hey guys has anyone experienced a jugger when setting of in first. It's like the car is gasping to get going which means putting foot abit harder on acceleration which then equals wheel spin. Also need to check the bolts on the engine ad there is a rattling sound when driving

Yours either has clutch judder or you have a slack or worn engine or gearbox mounting by your description mate.
