What does popping back in the air box mean a vw t5?

"Popping back in the air box" in a VW T5 typically refers to a backfire occurring in the intake system, where combustion gases escape back into the air filter or air intake area. This can indicate issues such as an air-fuel mixture that is too rich or too lean, faulty ignition timing, or problems with the ignition system. It’s important to diagnose the underlying cause to prevent potential engine damage and ensure optimal performance.
