Hi there Puma lovers!
I’ve just got mine and I’m absolutely in love with it. Such a great car.
I have one question though. Yesterday when I got home and the car was still idling, I heard a strange noise coming from the back wheel. It is like a popping or pumping sound. Unfortunately I was unable to locate it. Have a look here:
Any ideas? Many thanks!
Where is this noise coming from?
Hi and welcome.
What model Puma do you have?
I've never heard a sound like that from either of mine. At a guess it could be linked to the exhaust.

Precisely where were you in relation to the car when you recorded that noise?
If the car is stationary then the noise cannot be coming from the wheel, so as Sparks suggested it is much more likely to be connected with the exhaust.

Thanks for your reply. I have a 1.0 155 PS ST Line X with Driver Assist Package.
On the video there is an arrow pointing to the exact location where the noise came from. It was the loudest there. It's very strange because the exhaust is on the other side if I'm correct.
Hope this is enough information. I will show this to the dealer as well, will keep you guys posted if they find the cause.

You did not say so I can only assume you were standing next to the nearside rear wheel and holding your phone (or other recording device) at the top of the wheel arch.
Can you hear the noise while sitting inside the car, and does it change at all when you gently increase the revs?
