Hello Everyone!

I have a 2001 Roadster that for the last year I am only driving once a week or so. It has about 57000 miles on it and is in great condition.

Recently I noticed that as I back up, if I turn while backing up I will hear a popping sound. Also, I will "feel" the pop in the floor of the car. It is coming from the front end.

I am scheduled to have the car looked at by the dealer tomorrow but I am hoping someone out there might have an idea of what this may be (vague description of the problem aside) so that I am a bit more knowledgable when the dealer comes back with their thoughts.

Any help is much appreciated!

 

I hear that sometimes too. Had the car at the dealer and tehy said it was normal.

 

probably the quattro binding a little. The wheels want to move a different speeds, but the haldex is fighting it a little (kinda considers it as a tire slipping).

I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts getting worse.
