Im probably just being paranoid but have only just noticed this toady after getting 2 new tyres fitted.

I have a fr tdi and when accelerating gently up to about 2,000 rpm in 3rd or 4th when i lift off, there seems to be what can only be described as a croak coming from somehwere in the middle/passenger side, possibly from under the car.

I just wanted to know if its just me not noticing it before now and its a common noise, or if it could be the start of a problem :confused:

Cheers :)

Bumpty bump for more info.....

Quick update.....driving home tonight, was still there, but also in 5th+6th, it only seemed to occur when using less than 1/2 throttle, wasn't there when booting it, really don't have a clue what it could be, exhaust? clutch? just something normal? :confused:

Any help would be much appreciated :)

I have exactly the same problem mate. It's been happening for a while. Took it to the dealers, they thought they'd fixed it but the noise has come back again. It's like a weird whoosh / suction noise when lifting off. Have booked the car in to have them look at the car again in 2 weeks :think:
