I have a 2014 Jetta. Saturday while on a long drive I started hearing what reminded me of a "jake brake" kicking in every time I would let off the accelerator. As soon as I gave it any fuel it would go away.
I would rarely hear it when I had cruise control on unless going down a steep hill.
I thought maybe an exhaust leak or a stuck waste gate? I stopped and had a friend rev it up while I was on the ground listening but it wouldn't do it then and I couldn't detect or see a problem. I had no choice to but to continue driving the car.
Eventually, after a couple hundred miles it stopped happening. Now a few days later I heard it again a few times but not like before.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance
