rumble on acceleration only

Hi all

I've got a rumble upon acceleration, the sound goes away as I let off throttle. Its especially prominent with a full load of passengers. The sound does not persist past initial acceleration. I hear it Only now and again as a single driver. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe inner CV is beginning to pooch out on me, possible?

03 sedan, manual

that's what i would think too, also check that all the little bolts that hold the inner cv to the tranny are tight, i've seen them loosen before and act like a **** cv. if it's the bolts that are loose, don't chance it, replace them all

Yeah, what binky said. An inspection now will show you if it is loose bolts or dying inner CVs.

Cheers!

Not exhaust noise?

I have a similar problem, although I would not describe the noise as a rumble. It is more like a rattling, like maybe a shield banging around or something. Other than that it also happens under acceleration, and it is driving me nuts trying to find the problem.

I won't get under the car til Friday, will keep you all posted, thanks for the things to look for.

My vote is some type of exhaust issue.

My daughter's Golf had a persistent rumble that was caused by a cracked exhaust pipe.

Maybe a failed tranny or motor mount?
