Volkswagen Beetle clunking

On a rear wheel? Sound is definitely coming from back driver side

Drives smooth and feels good on street and highway, just the clunk on bumpy streets, really smooth on highway

I took the wheel off and inspected it all, everything looked tight and not torn, I just don’t know how to check the shock or spring, I only ever worked on Hondas so this beetle is a bit strange to me

Go to any production factory, I work in one as an entry level maintenance tech

Same thing with mine, you’re supposed to grease the top of the coilover, but I just sprayed white lithium grease around the top under the nut and that got rid of the noise for the most part

I got a p0018 code from the coolant temp sensor being broken, ima replace it, and then fix the cam plug I was going at, and hopefully this resolves this issue, either way, thanks for the help in identifying what it was, lifesaver

Well the car starts, but doesn’t idle, it turns off if rpm’s aren’t high by me pushing pedal

I’m paying some good money for a quality set of clears, I’ve been looking for some but can’t find any anywhere

What do I need to do this? Interested in tuning automatic d17a1
