my mk4 6n polo makes a knocking noise everytime i press on the accelerator. it is a very loud and embarassing metal on metal noise. it sounds like it is coming from under the car but it could be under the bonnet.
any ideas?
cheers

get under the car and shake the exhaust

It's not the exhaust, i am pretty certain of that. could the shocks have gone?

Again i'd say exhaust as a first suspect. How are you sure it isn't the exhaust?
What about engine mounts?
What makes you think it would be suspension - you said yourself that you get the noise when you step on the gas. This is a pretty strong indication that it's related to something on the engine....
