These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Hi All. First post in the 911 section!!!!, current Cayman is on the market and i have seen a 2008, Carrera S for sale. test drove it yesterday...awesome, how good to feel manual gears again, from a tiptronic it will get some gtting used too, especially with the short shift.....thats of course if i buy it! I have a question, the car looks perfect, apart from possibly one noise i hear when changing up years, if im normal driving, no noise. If i drive spirited evert time i engage the gear, lift the clutch there is a slight thud when it engages, im not sure if this is me getting used to a manual again, or a mechanical issue i should be aware of? Am getting the car checked out before purchase, but wondered if any one had any thoughts on this, and maybe other checks i could do on the car to alleviate any concerns i may have? Any comments helpfull!

POST 2Original post

I think you pretty much have a hold on what to do,....have it checked out thoroughly befor the purchase by someone (dealer/independent) that knows later model Porsches. The noise could be something your just not used to after driving a Tip for a while, but it really doesn't sound normal to me. How many miles? Past maint history? It could be something little such as a clutch master/slave that needs to be replaced, or just a proper flush and bleed of them. Depending on miles it could be a clutch/pressure plate that needs to be replaced. There is also a dual-mass flywheel that could be having some issues. Bottom line, let us know what a good tech finds. Good luck with it!

POST 3Original post

Who is checking out the car for you? Are you buying it from a private party? I would have a Porsche dealer do the PPI for sure. And ask them to run an overrev report. Especially since its a 6MT. I don't think they'll run one unless you ask.

POST 5Original post

Thanks guys, the car is being checked tomorrow so will ask them to do an overrun report also. The car has 50k kilometres, And has full dealer service, Will keep you posted with updates

POST 6Original post

I should have the condition report for the Carrera tomorrow evening, and all going to plan i should have the car by saturday! woohoo! cant wait...

POST 7Original post
