It is like a griding. just a quick "zing" Definatley the front of the car and can be heard when accelerating from a slow speed and when the windows are down. 2013 Jetta Hybrid.

    Hello, this is my first thread on this forum - I own a 1984 Rabbit and have cared for the car for the past 26 years. Recently, an odd symptom has developed: every time I honk the horn, even briefly, the car ignition seems to "dampen" or hiccup, like the engine isn't getting enough fuel. I...
