knocking

Hi all, new 205 gti owner (1.6) can hear/feel a light knocking sound when accelerating under load. I suspect it's probably the CV's but thought I'd ask incase there's anything else I should consider

Find a car park and drive along going from full lock to full lock on the steering , if the knocking is more pronounced its c.v. joints.

I agree with the above, but I’d also add that in my experience if you can “feel” it through the floor during acceleration then it’s one of the inner cv’s that is worn out, the full lock test won’t show it up.
