This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

But releasing pressure through the fuel filler fixed it.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Following a trip out, turn the engine off in the garage, can here a clicking noise from fuel tank/filler. Any ideas please. Is a pressure relief fitted under wheel arch covers. thanks

POST 2Original post

I had that in a 997 used to own, happened to be at JZM at the time and they couldn't identify the noise. Just by chance I undid the fuel filler and it released some pressure for some reason, put it back on and all ok. I never had that problem in eight years of ownership, only happened once. But releasing pressure through the fuel filler fixed it. Don't ask me why!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for that, I did release the pressure, I will give it a run now . thanks again
