Clunk noise when pulling away...

[CTUltrasport]

I dunno if I would call it a clunk but if i'm not mistaken there is an ABS check that the car does automatically after start up while pulling away that makes a little noise.

can anyone shed further light on this? I am interested to know what this is and how it "should" sound.

The first time you pull away from a stop after the cars been shut down for a bit, you'll here (and usually feel) an ultra-quick clunk. It usually happens in mine about 10 ft after I start rolling.
It is simply the ABS pressurizing and doing a very quick self test.
At first, I thought it was something in the driveshaft or driveline shuffling.

If this clunk you all are talking about is only happening the first time you start to drive, this is what's going on, and it's perfectly normal. If this clunk is happening everytime you start from a stop (stop signs, red lights, whatever) then it's a different story.

I always thought that was my CV joints or my control arms. It always happens to me as well, only when the car has been off for over a couple hours, and it always happens within 5 seconds of the car being in motion. It also happens in my sister's b6, so I never wanted to believe it was something I needed to replace. Good to know.
