G'day all,
Great site seems very informative and has been interesting reading.
I recently purchased a 03NP 3.5L 105,00klms on the clock. I have only had the vehicle for a couple of weeks but have noticed a distinct popping noise when accelerating. The "popping" only occurs whilst in gear and driving between approx 2000 and 3000rpm. I assume when the auto gearbox is changing between 1st to 2nd and onto 3rd.
Once at speed and I take my foot slightly off the accelerator the noise stops. I think the noise was there to begin with although for whatever reason it didnt seem as noticeable.
I have crawled around underneath and there is nothing so blantantly loose or rusted that I can see. Admittdley the grand canyon could be stashed under there and I wouldnt know better.
The car is going back to the dealer on Monday. I realise my query is as clear as mud but am hoping someone may have some advice as to the potential issue. Im sure if there is a problem they will say it isnt covered by the warranty and I would like to have somewhat of a clue.
On the flip side it could be a perfectly normal noise and I am completley paranoid and wrong. It wouldnt be the first time !
. I thought better to be safe than sorry.
Completley Clueless.
Thanks
