Just in front of the drivers seat the floor clunks if you put more than, say 15-20 pounds of pressure on it (as measured by the incredibly accurate force sensor located in my heel through my combat boot) it will clunk in and out similar to how an aluminum can will clink or crunch or clunk, or whatever, when you give the mid section a little squeeze and then it bounces back.

After the jack questions yesterday, I got concerned that the AAA guy who jacked my car up after its most recent flat, put the jack in the wrong place and damaged the floor board from underneath. Fortunately, not. Everything OK down there.

Does anyone else have this clunky/clinky floor board? I'm not going to do anything about it because I don't want anyone screwing with my perfect carpeting. I just thought it was odd.

It sounds rather bizarre in fact since you have not been in an accident. The floor is a one piece section that is formed with the remainder of the lower passenger cabin or so I thought. In order to get the metal to soften you would need some above average flexing of the part.

All right, what the heck have you really been doing with that car. I think I saw some inet video of someone jumping their A6 over a warthog at an undisclosed installation called area 51.5.

Seriously, you really need to find out what it is though because the floor is an important part of the structural integrity of the vehicle. You don't want the thing to split in half during a very minor collision.

Sounds like something under the floor might be too close. Or an access plate ?

Structural integrity compromised? Damn, I thought I had a loose can of Pocari Sweat under my carpet and your telling me I'm breaking apart next time I hit an expansion joint on the Bay Bridge!
Crap, I better get it looked at, I hope they don't screw up my fine polyester-nylon ****.
So, I guess you're saying this doesn't happen in your car?
Crap, I really thought this was normal.
Ah, if it's messed up I'll just go trade mine with LMGotts4.2, he'll never notice, he'll just forget he had the Nav.
They told me it was an armadillo not a wart-hog!
Thanks

Are there access panels down there. The underside looks unscathed and solid.

So hard to tell without hands on.

That afternoon red bull made me a little over dramatic better switch to the colt forty five

I have a 2001 2.7t tip and i seem to have the same problem.. I have an appt. this week to find out what the hell it is, but if i was you i don't think toy should worry cause my car is about 5 weeks old... and i don't think it was from jacking it... I think it is some sort of metal board that got stepped on to hard or somthin like that....
