jamest 0 Posted April 5, 2004 howdy, i have owned my corrado for about three weeks and there are a few things that i have noticed with it :!: 1-with the engine idling and i blip the throttle, when the revs come back down to idle there seems to be a very faint popping noise coming out of the exhaust-any ideas please? 2- also, when the car is moving there is a very faint knocking noise from the front drivers side whel area- man from veedub said it could be an abs washer but didnt really have a clue.... :?: the car apart from those things is a mint runner and is aVR6 with 63000, FSH and any help would be legendary thanks :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted April 6, 2004 How recently has it had an oil change? Heard that dirty oil can contribute to popping. Maybe a wheel bearing that's making the knocking sound? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamest 0 Posted April 6, 2004 mmm, not sure. Think i topped it up with some oil that is too thin (5w30?) so am going to do a change this weekend! have asked about a wheel bearing but hear it makes more of a screeching noise(?!) so i dunno. Just going to leave it for a bit and see what happens, got to be careful though as dont want to lose a wheel at 145mph..... hahaha :wink: cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted April 6, 2004 wheel bearings whuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and make your brain hurt... ;) (guess who's got a dodgy one at the moment! ;) ) The faint knocking noise is almost certainly the driveshaft vibration Damper which will have come loose and will be clonking against either the inner or outter CV joint ... Have a look HERE for details.... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
