Car Forum / Porsche / Porsche Cars / August 2005New 997 exhaust rattle when cold
From collecting the car newm I'm getting a strong rattle from what sounds like the exhaust box, only when cold. Problem goes away completely after moving off for 50 yards and only returns after the engine has completely cooled again Dealer told me this was a known anomoly and nothing to worry about, but could not explain it further Anyone seen this already and know what this is Thanks it's under warantee, tell them to fix it! > From collecting the car newm I'm getting a strong rattle from what sounds > like the exhaust box, only when cold.

But no real problem they suggested that if they cant get a fix from Porsche they would replace the engine on warranty seems excessive but the rattle is driving me mad > "" wrote: > > From collecting the car newm I'm getting a strong rattle from [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > seems excessive but the rattle is driving me mad I wonder if this has to do with ceramic coated headers...? This was a problem on some cars sometime in the 90's. IIRC, they would rattle when cold, but after the ceramic heated and swelled slightly, it resolved. |
