Cat meowing sound when accelerating VW Beetle

Our car is named miss kitty for the same reason! My husband seems to think it is a vacuum line of some type. I can smell a faint gasoline odor when it happens. If you discover an answer let us know!

VW Beetle 1.9tdi, Gets lots of slowing cranking, hard to start (Only sometimes) New battery, Gets P2100 and P2102 although new throttle body (But is only a anti-run on on a diesel.)

P2100 and P2102 refer to the Throttle Actuator not the Throttle body. This is basically the switch system at the actual accelerator pedal. The slow crank and exhaust could be separate issues. Get the alternator tested it might not be supplying enough charge to the battery. Some vehicle OBD systems need to be checked when you fit a new battery. As a battery ages some electronic systems can adjust and compensate for that over time.
If the CAT had gone it would often flag up a O2 sensor fault as the CAT wouldn't be working correctly.
What do you mean by "exhaust noise have increased"? Does it sound louder, Engine's running faster, Sounds rough and uneven? Comment below and I'll try to help you more.

2000 VW Beetle: When accelerating or decelerating it pulls very hard to the left, while coasting, it seems to be fine and drives in a strait line. What could this be?

Verify tire pressures, and tires with the same amount of time on the ground. Rotate front to back, diagnostically. Also, a brake failing to release can cause a similar symptom.
