Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking for a shop in the San Francisco Bay Area that knows the 986 cars. I have a rattling sound that seems to come from the engine, but does not get louder with rpm. Hear it at idle but when I take off, think the regular engine noise drowns out the sound. Seems it could be chain tensioners or some part of that assembly. I dunno.

I'd start by checking heat shields. on/around the exhaust. If you can, jack it up and put it on jack stands, then start tapping parts of the exhaust lightly with a rubber mallet to see if they rattle.
