Just got my turbo converted Typ 89 Coupe Quattro back on the road after 8 years in the garage (and they said it would never happend) 
But I got a clunk sound from the rear somewhere. I can notice it often starting after coming to a complete stop. I can tell the sound comes from the rear of the driveline or suspension. My guess is the differential, the CV-joint, driveshaft support or some brushings.
In know that the driveshaft support is not all good, since I can feel some vibrations sometimes during acceleration. However, here is where it becomes complicated - the clunk never appears when the car has been sitting for some hours, in other words completely cooled down.
Naturally I will go under the car and take a better look, and try to eliminate different things. But I would like to hear if somebody else has had the same sound?
The diff and the CV joints are my main suspects, since I am thinking that the metal can expand if they get hot, and give wrong margins and cause it to make those sounds. I don't see anything else being affected on wether the car have been sitting for hours or not? Do you?
