Fantastic video🙌 My '99 2700i has the same creaking noise when the chassis is under some form of load. I thought it was the suspension, but it's too inconsistent.
Thank you sir for the compliment! I think I did locate the noise, I discovered on the rear leave springs (Old man EMU brand) that the front bushes are done & I could see the metal to metal wear on the sides of the leave springs on the front pivot. Even after applying some lubrication as a test, the noise was already reduced a lot the following weekend at Grabouw 4x4 trail. Once I have fitted new bushes I will make a note to give an update on the video to follow when we go on another 4x4 trail. ;)
Thanks Jeremy for the info. I did eventually discover the problem / cause, rear leave spring bushes like you said. See the DYI video if you'de like - ua-cam.com/video/Cg7scfES-98/v-deo.html
Die video lyk insane😱😱
Dankie mnr! Ons probeer ook maar. ;)
I would love to take my VW Syncro through there. Beautiful place!
You should, they have an all terrain vehicle track as well, the view at the top road is one of its kind.
@@DIESELTECH_ZA My parents actually live there, so one day I hope to see it!
Wow stephan, amazing cinematics

Its not your chassis, its your suspension bushes..
