Title: Popping noise when pulling away in first
Post by: Spooky211 on March 18, 2018, 07:37:32 pm

As the description, anyone experienced similar? Only happens in first and only from a standstill. My engine mounts are knackered (new ones on the way) and I've ordered the subframe spacer kit as well. I know that generally the subframe issue shows itself when turning but thought that since the car is approaching 115000 miles I'd be as well getting all that sorted regardless.

I test drove one recently and it made that noise under load, when accelerating through 2nd to 3rd gear. The seller said it was an engine mount, specifically the rear engine mount (also known as dogbone mount).
