Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I went to look at a 996 turbo 2003 and whilst sitting in the car with the engine running i heard a chaping noise! I honestly thought someone was chaping on the rear window thats exactly what it sounded like. Is seemed to be coming from inside the roof,i then noticed that the satnav/stereo wasnt coming on or going off properly. My mate thinks the noise which continued intermitingly during driving sounds like an audio noise. Im wondering if the problems are linked. Has anyone heard of or experienced this problem? The car has a sunroof which works perfectly so i dont think its that. Thanks all.
