It was some sort of shorting-fault with the amplifier. But before it was fixed I had already returned the car to the dealer and got my money back.

So I sent the car back to the dealership from where I bought the car. They took me more seriously on this matter and immediatly changed the amplifier and made a few tests. But the loud popping noise is still there, and it is still hard to say when it will happen except for when the fuel-heater has been on for about 20-30 minutes. Am I the first person to experience this? I am strongly suggesting to turn the car back to the dealership and get all of my money back.

Thanks, I've gotten the same reply from many others on this matter that it might be the amplifier, so I'm going to tell the shop when I'm returning it that they should do something to the amplifier.

They've sent something to VW in Germany to see if they have some kind of solution to this. I'm not aware of anything like that, I bought the car in April this year and the problem started around June/July. The only thing I have noticed from time to time is that the buttons to rolling down the windows are unresponsive sometimes, along with the button to adjusting the side mirrors.

That's what I've tried telling the shop, but they claim that it is some sort of update issue, but since they've done 2 updates already, it clearly isn't the problem. Let's see when I turn the car back into the shop if they can solve it, otherwise I don't know what to do.

The thing is, is that it is quite hard to find some kind of connection to something else because it happens so randomly. Except for when I have started the fuel-heater and had let it run for about 30 minutes. Then it happened 2 days in a row.

Can't guarantee it, but I think I have tried that as well and it still happened.

Hello, I have a Skoda Karoq -18 with the Canton sound system fitted in it (if it makes a difference). I started noticing that randomly when i press the ignitionbutton to turn on the car, the speakers/sound system releases a loud sound from the speakers which resembles the sound coming from when touching two sound cables to each other on older speaker systems. And let me say, the sound is LOUD. Almost sounds like the speakers are blowing up. And I am quite worried when I have a little baby coming up that the baby is going to have it's eardrums blown up because of this. I still have the Das Welt Auto-warranty left on it from when I bought the car, so I have left it to a Skoda repair-shop. They have searched for error codes and they have done 2 updates of some sort. I picked the car up this friday and the shop said "Try driving the car during the weekend to see if the sound comes back again". I sat down in my car and turned on the ignition and it was back again. I'm leaving the car back to the shop after the holidays. I have also noticed that whenever I turn on the fuel-heater(?) and it has been left on for 30 minutes, the loud sound WILL come back more regurarly rather than randomly. But, is there anyone here who has experienced the same kind of issue? I bet that it's not just related to Skoda Karoq. Did you get it fixed and what was the issue? I love the car, but this issue is driving me insane since I am almost getting a heartattack everytime I sit down in the car and turn on the ignition. All the help and info is appreciated. best regards
