Hi,

I have a 2000 Passat GLX V6 Automatic.   When accelerating fast from a
full stop, I hear a "thud" from the front of the vehicle.  The sound
occurs once when the car starts moving.  If I accelerate slowly from a
full stop, then I do not hear that noise.

Also, if I accelerate with my foot on the brake, I can create the same
"thud" sound.

Any ideas on what that could be?   Would this be something typically
covered under a power/tran warranty?

Thanks,
AABob

Have that suspension fully checked too!
Could be a ball joint or tie rod ready to pop and that is no fun!!!

It should be very easy to locate since you can get it to reoccur easily!
