Hi Guys

 

I had an issue last night driving home, 13 seconds into the video below. A large bang, as if I had just driven over something. Felt like I had, but there was no debris, pulled over several times after to check the car, and there is no apparent physical damage to the car externally, underneath I cant immediately see any damage...No warning lights, watching torque the turbo was spooling up to 25psi I believe, so seemed it was still working.

At one point I did find below the fan, and near the intercooler, soaking a large diameter hose, appeared to be some oil., not a lot,  but it looked fresh, no oil pressure warning light though, will check the oil before I head off to work...

Any thoughts?

    Really strange! I think you might have been swiped from the side by a small animal that made it's way under your car happens to me a lot on the motorway near my house, causes a loud bang and feels strange, mainly rabbits, you might be going 70MPH but they're sometimes quick enough to get hit under your car and survive then run away.

    Well the rest of the footage showed nothing. I did find one anomaly... The offside rear brake line appears to no longer be tucked up out the way, I am wondering if the bang might have been a break in a bracket holding the line if such a thing exists?

    Sounds to me like the giggling pin for the laughing shaft has snapped.

    When my rear anti roll bar bracket snapped it made a similar noise.
