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.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello. I'm a newbie here but just bought my second 996. 1999 c4s cab with loads of history and immaculate bodywork. It's got a couple of faults; squeaky windows and a mystery ticking sound on idle but I'm very happy. Should I be worried about the ticking noise though ?

POST 2Original post

The ticking could be sticking hydraulic tappet, but will usually disappear when engine warms up and oil gets hot. Could be a noisy injector. Squeaking window usually passenger side can be fixed with silicon spray. May take a while to disappear with use unless you take door card off for direct access to mechanism.

POST 4Original post

how many miles? Thicker oil quietened mine down a lot. Still ticks at idle when cold a bit not after a few mins or when hot. 0w40 has no place near a 100k+ engine IMO. Squeeky windows- form the door seal or mechanism? If mechanism, door card off and regrease sliders and cable. Door seals wear the felt off leaving the rubber to squeal on the window. New doors seals are well over a hundred each. I use gummi fledge on mine (google it) and polish the glass, cuts it down a lot.

POST 5Original post

+1... I clayed the windows, and coated with RainX. I also clean the felts inside of the seals, and pull them 'away' from the window all along the top of the door from time to time. Seems to have largely shut them up apart from hot days.
