Re: Noises...

I had this same "rattling" problem in both my 84 rocco and 86 Jetta. I bet
if you step on the brakes lightly while you go over these bumps, the
clanking sounds will go away.

Is it just me, or do stock VW brake have notoriety for having the pad
clips either fall or rust off?  This was the case with both my vehicles,
and it's really quite a simple fix!
