Had this on my 1.4. Turned out to be one of the linkages. The original roll pin had obviously worn out or fallen out under it's previous ownership, and had been replaced by an M6 nut & bolt (read worn bolt by now!) hence a sloppy fit for a 7mm hole. Had to drill out to 8mm as that was all the roll pins I had. But tighter than a Nun's fanny now.
Not the only bodge on this car I might add
