Check your coolant level, low coolant or air in your cooling system will make a "thud"noise in your heater core when the engine is under load from acceleration. The coolant rushes in to the heater core where the air pocket is trapped and then your hear the noise.
Start with the simple and make sure your coolant level is correct and then try to purge the system to remove the air out for your coolant system.
Thank you for using fixya and good luck

H3 thud jolt with light acceleration

Hi, I have the same case here as it sound while you accelarate from low to high speed or release the accelator immediately to reduce the speed it gives thud sound specially in cold start. I had checked with Agency and they said it is normal in LC and I was not satisfied with the answer, so I had taken a second openion with another best workshop in th country ( I am in Gulf Region Dubai ) and got the same answer, then I had discussion with other people also and got the same answer, but I still dont believe as a performance car should not give any sound and I have good technical knowledge in cars so I check very carefully by lifting the car and simulating the scenario and my observation is that there is no issue with the gearbox basically it is a jolt from 4wheel case whcih is attached to side of the gearbox and shafts are connected to it.

Sounds like bad CV (constant velocity) joints in the front half shafts.

They make the most noise at a full wheel cut.
