Seems like there is usually a muffled clunk when moving after releasing the hand brake - almost as though I have bumped something. Never happens other than the 1st time I move it. Ideas?

 

Sometimes the pads stick on the rotors when they are wet or after I wash the car. A little clunk as it "unsticks" on rollout the next day .

 

^^^^ he's right on the money, happens to everyone. if i leave the car in the driveway for a week it happens.

ABS test, it's in your manual.

 

Its the sound of both meantioned above, very normal.

 

I've been searching the forums, and seems most agree the clunk is an ABS test. I can't find it in my manual though, and my dealer didn't even know about this. They told me it was the limited slip differential.

How loud is your clunk? Mine is damn loud, like I'm going over a bump and scraping the underside of my car...

 

Yea its loud..

 

It's loud enough to make you go WTF!? the 1st time you hear it.

 

Imagine test driving a used 8 at the dealer for the first time and hearing that lol.

 

It's your 8 saying - WTF!! How dare you park me!! Let's go out and make some beeps together!!

 

I hear it every morning! I park in a garage, and it's been pretty dry lately. But yeah, every morning... it sounds as if I just hit a curb with the wheels and a slow speed...
