ok I need help.My car has just had the suspension on both sides done (both arms as well) due to failing wof.Now Im not sure if there was ever a knocking before, but now (or perhaps louder) there is this constant knocking when im accelerating, when im in idle, even when im in park.(Automatic) does anyone know what could be causing the knocking! Ive heard that VW passats are very bad with oil sludges, but do you think the suspension repairs could have contributed! or that my oil sensor is broken and theres no oil! Help lol.

Check the oil with the dipstick before you start it if you think there could be no oil.
Was it the front or rear suspension that was done!

Is the engine related to engine behaviour or suspension behaviour!
