I always put this down to something moving to relieve unequal thermal expansion/contraction somewhere...can you give a little more info on how long you had been driving/weather conditions/heater on etc...Cheers,Ben.

Mentioned it to ford last service and they did an ecu edit and I haven't had it since. When it happened to me I was accelerating both times - I thought it might be over boost ??

I was just driving under a bridge and I thought that someone had dropped a brick on the boot from the bridgethe car did not behave any different but it was just the noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's a backfire. They can get loud sometimes (my brother actually heard it once, while following me on an enthusiastic drive) and when you're concentrating on the road it sounds like something else and louder then it actually is. It happens quite rarely and I can't replicate it, which would be good. Bit like in the movie Uncle Buck, but minus the smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just driving under a bridge and I thought that someone had dropped a brick on the boot from the bridgethe car did not behave any different but it was just the noiseBackfire + bridge accustics = VERY LOUD.Definately sounds like a meaty backfire to me... If everything drives as per usual, this is goto be candidate number 1.Oh and symptoms for a broken CV are, lack of drive, one of the axils flapping about under the car.................
