Hey guys,

Recently my car started making a noise. On some days it's silent, on some days it's pretty bad.
I made a video about it. Does anyone has any idea? Maybe a CV joint? I hear it mostly from the left side of the car.

It's silent on deceleration, only making the noise around 1750-2100 rpms when accelerating or holding the speed.
It's a 2001 1.4TDI AMF.

 
I would say thats driveshafts/cv joints wear too as first port of call. HAve you tried steering left or right to see if it changes?
 
So I put the car on jacks and listened to it.
I think it's the outer CV joint. On the jacks it makes no difference in sound if I steer left or right. Maybe making it a bit more harsh.

 
So I replaced the inner one. But it didn't solved the problem. When I moved the outer joint with my hands it was sticky and noise. So I ordered an outer one too. Probably gonna get it on Tudesday.
