this is my first time posting, but i've been reading the posts for 4 months
now.
i
i have had some bad experiences with cv joints..
if a cv joint is completely busted, you won't be able to drive your car.
when my left inner joint broke there was a loud popping noise and the car
"jumped" whenever there was a pop.. as if the axle wasn't flexing.. and was
stuck at a certain angle. i later found after some inspection that the balls
inside the cv joint were out of place. . The popping noise was loud!! and
sounded like you were breaking something everytime you moved an inch...
it seems like your problems aren't this bad..
last week i heard a similar sound to the lound popping but wasn't as loud..
but my car was cool to drive as long as i went slow... i later found out that
my front engine mount bolt was broken and any hard acceleration would cause
my engine to move and then slam back into the motor mount and make a loud
noise... perhaps that is your problem...
if it is your cv joints, it's a long process
first you have to take your axle off, and if you haven't done that yet, it'll
be hard.. vw has a special tool to make it easier to push the axle out of the
wheel hub. .. you need a special 12 point tool to take out the bolts that
connect the axle to the transmission... it's a lengthy process... anyway...
hope it isn't your cv joints because i went through that and i sure didn't
enjoy it...
