Have a 2001 TD4 with Auto box.

Developed a thudding clunk from the rear on re-applying throttle when in coasting situations.

Just had the 3 Rear Diff bushings replaced new, along with new oil seals.

Slightly disappointed to find that after this work, I still have the same clunk, albeit much 'quieter' when re-applying the throttle from a coasting ride.

Just wondering if any of you folks can second-guess what the next thing to check for replacement will be? Like to get her sorted for the Winter.

So far, £300 spent on parts and labour on the rear clunk. Cheers if anyone can suggest.

Vcu mounts lay under it and give the props a wiggle, exhaust mounts?

Check your front right mount on your rear subframe. Usual suspect when the rear end are clunking.

Sub fram the bit that's bolted to the body and then the diff and most other bits

Nr 4 is the rear subframe.

Just above nr 5 you will see the front mount on the rear subframe The problem is usually on the chassis where the bolt goes into a captive nut. Needs some welding and so on, but its easily fixed.

But then again, it might be something else.

Oh that's a fantastic clear diagram, you folks are very helpful indeed.

I will return the effort by updating the posts as-and-when I get it diagnosed and fixed. Nothing worse than Help-Me posts that never conclude eh?

Meantime, me and the dogs are back on Heinz-beans to help me save money...
