Yesterday I posted at the end of my "200,000" mile thread from 3 years ago. It's a dead thread. Just to show what is easily possible, my 07 MS3 is going to hit 300,000 in a matter of a month and a half or so. Original clutch, original turbo. Engine is stock, suspension is not. Yes, it...

This is a very high mileage 2007 MS3, but it's been doing this a long time. Hearing knocking on choppy bumps, and can be pretty loud. Replaced the struts -- no change. Replaced stabilizer end links, the knocking in the rear disappeared, but the front knocking stayed. The usual VA...
