Hi guys,I've just bought a 05 sti type uk and have a quick question when driving slow ie driving slowly in traffic or coming to a stop at a red traffic light i'm getting a knocking noise .After reading the manual it says it normal but thought i would ask on here just for piece of mind(i'm just a little worried)I've set the dccd on auto with the dial set at halfway.I'm thinking should i get it checked.

 

mine does this too. As far as I am aware, it is nothing to worry about. Mine appears to be coming from the rear diff. It only happens when i brake so presume drive shaft is taking up the slack in the diff as I brake.

 

it is coming from under the car? mine started knocking but on checking its the rear struts need replacing under w/tee. it only knocks at slow speeds

 

Have you got your DCCD set to Auto?

 

yes just left it has the previous owner had it

 

the struts would be the first likely to give the noise as it happens at low speed and when stopping. sometimes you might get when you come to a stop the car a few seconds later seems to slump down at the back.

also sometimes the exhaust can be hiting the diff etc if its worked lose from hangers etc

 

take it down to local dealer and get them to check it,05 reg should be under warranty still

 

cheers guys I'll get it checked just for piece of mind
