Audi A6 Avant 1.9tdi 2004. Knocking/clicking noise when turning from front wheels

When turning a corner and especially when accelerating out of the corner a knocking come clicking sound comes from the front wheels. I'm figuring it's the universal joint in the driveshaft?

Any help apreciated.

    I assumed that this might be the problem because I saw it on some web sites that sold CV joints and axles.



    This is a good tip for you.



    Giving this further thought. The noise happens when the steering is turned and what makes the power steering work?



    Well, the pump of course but more importantly the fluid.



    I checked the fluid and it is indeed low.



    Hopefully this will cure my clicking sound.



    Many thanks for letting sound off. Once you start to bounce ideas about you normally come up with an awnser.



    Cheers

1999 AUDI A6 avant 2.8L quattro. Car vibrates

This is a manual transmission? If so the clutch probably needs to be replaced. When you say "VIOLENTLY" what is going on, what is the road speed, what are the RPMs at? The more specific information the better. And this problem ONLY occurs between gear changes, right? The other times, everything is normal?

Noise while turning when accelerating

Probably a, or both front CV (constantly variable) joints in the front half-shafts (the driveshafts that run from your transmission to both your front wheels) are going bad. Not a too uncommon problem. They run about 150-160$ Canadian dollars a piece for remanufactured front shafts (from NAPA Auto Parts). Not too sure about labour cost, could be a few hundred dollars.

Tapping noise from front wheels during acceleration, especially when the wheels are turned

Sounds very much like worn constant velocity joints on your driveshafts. Get under the car and check for any axial play. i.e. see if you can twist the shaft back & forth. Is it your own car & want a cheap, temporary fix? Remove driveshafts & swap the outer joints side to side. I had this problem on an Audi but found the driveshafts were slightly different lengths from each other otherwise I would've swapped the whole shaft assemblies over.

Noise while turning when accelerating

you have a bad drive shaft, take it to a " trusted " repair shop.
the drive shaft is the arm that is connected to the tire " behind " and is in the middle " connects the center of the tire "
