Hi all

I have a MKI Octavia TDi, done 132k miles. Today, on my way back from work on the M1, I keep getting a weird noise from the front end on acceleration. It goes away when you back off the gas, or engage the cruise, it's only when you try to put the power(hehe) down you get it.

The only thing I can liken it to is it sounds like you are driving over the cat's eyes, if you see what I mean. I think it's from the drivers side front. First thoughts would be bearing/ CV joint, but it's had both these replaced during fault finding for something else in the last 20k miles.

Any thoughts?
