Weird sound from Man GTI.

Was driving my GTI earlier & spiritedly accelerated off at the traffic lights in 1st, it was a little bit slippery as it had started to sprinkle rain. the Traction light came on, the car did a little burn out and at the same time produced a loud 'pop pop pop'

I drive a manual & have an upgraded exhaust, it does produce overrun pops around 3800rpm.

I know the DSG does the 'fart' when driving but can the man GTI's do it? as Im hoping it was just the exhaust making the pops!

It's just the traction control cutting ignition. It's normal.

Ditto. Nothing to worry about.
