I had the knocking when I was having trouble with a fuel sender, it still thumps every now and then.

interesting....
b/c i got this TT with 37K and its a bit rougher than i had imagined
i am going to drop it but was wondering if i should do the shocks/struts at the same time
so i think you may have answered my question(s)...
thanks

if & when replaced (shocks, etc)
i hope the noise goes away...
so its NOT a fuel issue
we'll see

With two of my Mercedes-Benzes, we found that the plug wires had gone bad causing mis- and back-firing... In my case, I had some unburnt 'burps' of fuel which made that knocking sound.

I get the same sound, my guess was fuel sloshing in the tank, making something bump against the sides of the tank. Kinda hard to diagnose now that my cars beat up.
