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.

Hi, I'm on holidays in the countryside and just came back from a quick run to the petrol station. When I parked up in the hotel car park I noticed a really strange noise from the back of the car. Sounded like gravel was being flicked in the exhaust. So weird I made a video because I can't explain. Here is the YouTube link: https://youtu.be/yrX9iTm8EVQ I'm worried as to whether I should drive the car or not tomorrow? Any idea, any advice? Thanks in advance!
All I can heard is what are known in our house as 'Cooling down noises'. MC

:yeah: It should stink like burning rubber as well if you drive it as intended :grin:
I love that smell :thumb:
Its never done anything this loud even on track. Normaly cooling down noises are are a few little 'pings'. This sounded like someone pooring gravel through the engine compartment! You guys usually have it that loud?
I love that noise.
I was kind of expecting the engine to be running at the time of the video. All you're hearing is metal contracting in the exhaust as it cools down after a thrash. Not sure if this is serious or a joke... :hand: Sell it before it blows up. I'll give you £10K for it.
It was your car talking to you. See -> 911 speak :thumbs:
I spent the first few weeks of 996 ownership paranoid I'd bought an absolute lemon due to the sounds and the smell after I'd been for a drive.
Me too :grin:
For those asking I am dead serious. It was really loud. Really loud. I've done thousands of miles, many track days with the car and am used to the usual cooling down noises and smells. This was another level altogether and very loud. In any case sounds like you guys are all not worried so I will drive and see if anything unusual :thumb:
Hi Car looks to be in very nice condition indeed. These cars and those that went before it can produce a LOT of heat at the rear end. There is all the exhaust pipework compressed into a small space, and a myriad of heat shielding. I quite like that sound also. Something else you won't be getting from an electric car unless they program it to play over the speakers. All the best Berni
