Odd 'popping' noise Polo 6R 1.2 3 Cylinder

Post by Callumobs »

Ive had this car for over 6 months now, had it maintained and looked after properly.

Ive noticed an odd 'popping' noise which is audible after about 10 - 15 minutes of the car being driven. The car drives brilliantly and handles perfect. The noise is only audible when the vehicle is moving and I cant see it being the engine as it is not in time with the revs and doesnt not speed up with acceleration, its about 2 - 3 'pops' per second. It doesnt seem to be suspension related either as it doesnt make a noise when load is place on a corner. Ive checked that its not my speakers inside the car causing this noise and it is not. It is not a rattle or clunking that you may expect from the engine, just a subtle popping noise inside the vehicle which is very annoying.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.

Maybe check oil cap on engine. If loose it can make that noise.
Check oil level too.
