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

Bought one of these for my late 2002 996 Tiptronic Turbo and fitted it today. Car ran fine then later on in the journey I floored the throttle at around 20mph and there was a huge bang from the back! There was a continual grinding knocking noise with each wheel revolution as I slowed down it drove into a car park I was right next to but once the RAC came it lost drive. The engine has good oil pressure and ticks over OK but it sounds to me like the box has gone. Had the car 3 years never a problem then I fit this bloody thing and 1st time I floored it bang! Anyone any ideas what it sounds like and if its a box what sort of money am I looking at?

POST 2Original post

I'm afraid i know very little about aftermarket items but atm i'm unsure the gearbox has blown up so to say .. I'm thinking perhaps a driveshaft cv joint or bolts have let go .. at least i'm hoping that's the fault . hand and twisting on the driveshaft each side will soon say if its loose or not .

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks will do that.... Fingers crossed!

POST 4Original post

Get that thing off your car mate...! It's a Porsche, not a diesel Mondeo

POST 5Original post

Drive shaft was my first thought when reading your symptoms

POST 7Original post

This improves throttle response by increasing the signal sent when you push the pedal down.. As above, hopefully not a tip box issue as it will throw up the Emergency Run code on the dash!
