broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 6m 18d Gender: Male Posted 30/05/12 08:57 PM Share Posted 30/05/12 08:57 PM Hey guys, as the title says I get a strange "clunk" noise when taking off at low speed. It's only noticeable when the car has been sitting for maybe 3+ hours, and in drive you take off and at around 20kph there's a very defined thud or clunk from the front end. My short amount of research before work this morning has told me that some believe that's the ABS self testing? Can anyone confirm this? Or is it something I need to tell me mechanic about.Varies in volume, some days it's subtle and others it's quite loud.Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80397-strange-noise-when-taking-off/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 4 or 5 in a row? Or just one single clunk?4 or 5 would be ABS self test, one single is something different I believe...
