pop

Hi all, First proper post, so hopefully this is the right place for this. It was a beautiful Tuesday evening. The sun was shining and I had just beaten a GTI who was battling for first place when merging into a single carriageway. The car was making some beautiful noises as I manoeuvred around...

Hi All I'm relatively new here I've ordered a Leon Cupra ST 300 DSG7...I've not had a test drive of the exact car but I've gathered the exhaust on the non R or Carbon version is quiet...and I won't be able to do the res delete. My question is, after speaking with a friend with Cupra SC (2017...

ok so i went tesco's, and looked at the passenger side rear tyre, and was low (slow puncture it looks like) so when leaving i put some air in it, it was at 10, so got it to 28psi so driving and went around the roundabout, onto the straight and POP! from behind my mate (rear passenger side) i...

Was in the car yesterday, it was icy and it spun up in 2nd gear (had the traction control switched off), I shifted to third gear and there was a pop, it sounded like an intercooler pipe coming off. Got to my mates house about a mile away and switched the engine off to have a look. All the...

Bit of an odd question I know, but would a LCR pop flames with just an exhaust fitted? Seen one today that was. Wondering if it had other mods or map? ta

Right...this is not a chavvy post. Ive recently got blueflame de-cat and milltek cat back system on my car but since ive had it on ive not had one single pop or bang. Now im worrying that its runing lean. anyone else have a de-cat or anything with no pops etc..?

Hi guys,just wondering if a decat my lcr will it pop and bang?the exhaust is stock,thanks.

hey guys,just wondering,is there anyway i can make my cars exhaust pop and bang,is there anything anyone can recommend for the car to do this? Thanks

Help please, guys not sure what i've done ,but i was bootin my ibiza pd100 from standstill ,then there was a muted bang and puff of white smoke from exhaust. engine runnin erractic and white smoke from the exhaust now. smells a bit too of burning. im about quarter mile from home, should i risk...

had a burn up tonight and all of a sudden a huge amount of black smoke was pouring from my exhaust followed by a big flame, I pulled over to the hard shoulder (mate was behind me and seen everything) at first I thought it might have been a pipe but it wasn’t, rolled the car back and a small...

Okay, so I plugged the phone into the ciggie lighter socket to charge this morning and saw a spark and heard a pop come from under the dashboard. Plugged the ciggie lighter back in and its stayed depressed rather than heat up and pop out so I'm guessing the charger blew a fuse. Before going...

Just pulled the lever to pop the bonnet and it only slightly lifts. I can get my fingers in very slightly, but no movement. The button, that pops through the hex grill barely comes out. Cant be a snapped cable as I can hear the mechanism moving Any one had this before.

Bit of a strange one here, the car is due a service (minor only) and recently its been a little sluggish to drive but still holding power nicely. About a week ago i put some redex diesel cleaner in with some tesco diesel (no shell open near me due to refit!) and it didnt seem to get any better...

well after 146'988 miles my 1.4 has sh*t its bottom end ! , no hard feeling though , the last 31k have been mostly ragging it from cold and general abuse , im looking to bring a new lease of life into it with a vr6 conversion , i know someone has done this into a 1.4 before so im just trying to...

as above does it? I know it pops when the esp kicks in lol.

Was larging it down the motorway at the weekend when the turbo went pop, big chuff of white smoke! Pulled the downpipe off today to take a look and its broken the shaft. Its done 55k and i've only had it 3 weeks, luckily its under warranty so it back to the dealer tomorrow. What caused it to...

Hey folks, few things being done to the Cupra next week, but driving Pulsebass's Cupra, we noticed it didn't pop much when letting off the accelerator (His is MK3, Scorpion Cat back, revo'd FMIC, Forge TIP, Dynatwist) whereas mine is pretty much standard bar a Scorpion cat back and Jetex filter...

decat?? help got a mk3 cupra stage 1 remap want a decat .. anyone know where i can get one? after fitting one to my mates golf gti with similar map it back fires now do u think a decat on a cupra would achieve same result?

Maybe a stupid question, can you get a diesel to pop through the exhaust like a petrol? It's not that i'm wanting to i'm just wondering Cheers

I was going back to work today, just got out of my street, got into second and put my foot down. All of a sudden i heard a popping sound that came from the engine bay (or thats where i think it came from). I looked in my rear mirror and saw hudge clouds of black smoke. The car then lost...
