Title: Popping Noise From Exhaust When Accelerating!!!!
Post by: lukemk5gti on July 22, 2014, 05:14:00 pm

This only happened on occasion and there doesn't seem to be a common denominator. Sometimes it happens on a cold start and other times when the engine is hot!

It sounds like a popping coming from the exhaust. Definitely not engine because I checked it over.

When I tap the accelerator and let go it pops on the way back down. This happens if I rev to 1100rpm or 6500rpm.

Any thoughts?

Have a look underneath the car and check you exhaust system, on ramp or pit..get someone to rev it lightly for you...
Dont know what you mean by that popping sound..could be a mount away or crack..have a look first
