Offside rear click on acceleration/deceleration transition

[spon88]

let us know if you have success with this. I am hesitant to take the long drive to my SC until I feel somewhat confident I won't have to leave them my car for days and still not have it solved, again.

Will do. Still nothing back from the SC as of 9.30am UK time today.

Sorry I totally forgot about the this thread.

Nottingham SC came out and took the dash apart, guy was great and showed me how simple it was to do as he said he wasn’t 100% sure what the problem was and if he had solved it, but he found a tiny bit of roam that shouldn’t have been there that comes with the new part for the dash, he took that out and the clicking sound went away.

Thanks but not internal. My noise is def coming from outside of the car. I'll report back when I know more. Now day 3....

Day 4 in the SC and still no diagnosis/resolution. They've replaced a wheel hub, checked and cleaned lug nuts etc so far but no joy. It's been moved to a different technician and I've also asked for it to be escalated. Presumably there is some form of central function which can advise? Frustrating!

Yeah that sucks. Hopefully they find and fix the problem soon.

They stripped most of the front end underpinnings, cleaned and reassembled. The clicking seems to have gone but early days. The diagnosis? There wasn't one, but hopefully whatever it was is fixed. I guess something was coming adrift and they fixed it, however nothing obvious, at least nothing they're admitting. Fingers crossed.

The fact that there was nothing obvious is reassuring to me. At least there was no obvious damage from whatever was causing the clicking.
Mine’s been there for 3 years and so far no problems…

I have exactly this problem on my 3.5year old M3P. They sorted the front suspension creaking but the clicking on acceleration / deceleration still happens every time. It definitely coming from the rear drivers side of the car.
It’s booked in for them to sort tomorrow and I’m reluctant to have it back until it’s fixed as it’s close to the end of its warranty

Update
So I’m hoping it’s fixed, it’s certainly quiet at the moment and no sign of the clicking

This is what it says on the invoice:

Concern: Click from right rear when accelerating and then again when braking.
Removed and lubricated Rear Drive Unit Right Hand Half shaft at Hub. Clicking noise rectified.
Correction: Halfshaft - Rear Drive Unit - RH (Lubricate at Hub)
