'Boing' noise

Post by Ian and Lins »

Every now and then there is a 'boing' noise coming from somewhere under the van. It doesn't matter if it's a stright, flat road or a bumpy, cratered one. Not dependent on cornering, braking or accelerating. It's just random. It sounds like a bed spring 'boing' and maybe somewhere under and to the rear of the drivers seat. I've had a grovel around underneath this afto but cannot see anything untoward. All springs seem ok, nothing loose.
Any ideas?
Are we going on anything else?

Was expecting this sort of thing.
The seat? Will have a look but it seems quite loud and outside/underneath.

I've had several golfs, polo's etc that boing on turning when the end coil of the spring is broken...?
