Just bought my our Skoda a Karoq, Its a 19 plate 1.6 diesel SEL DSG with 11,000 miles. We are now getting a knocking noise coming from the front left hand side (nearside) at very low speed(its very annoying)
don't hear it so mush at speed its not an engine noise, it's like something hard rolling about in the glove compartment, its not iv'e checked and its empty as is door compartment, have checked wheel nuts and front suspension
Iv'e checked the forums here and there are a couple of posts from 2018/19 with what looks like the same problem as ours but no answers.
Any ideas or suggestions

No, Sorry. Take it to dealer asap, in case it's a safety problem.

Hi Everyone,



Just an update to our issue with knocking noise from our front suspension.

After about a year suffering the noise on and off (normally off when we took it to any garage to see about the noise😡) . We eventually put car back into a garage and decided to replace the front strut support bearings, after reading about other owners with the same problem replacing them.

This was a none Skoda garage using none Skoda replacement parts as we are out of warranty.

It looks like we have got to the bottom of the problem and knocking has gone, the mechanic showed me the old support bearings and both had a kind of oil coming out of the sealed unit.

Hopefully we have got to the bottom of the problem and can start enjoying the car now🙂
