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

Suspected cause

Clutch pedal is probably the switch on top of the pedal, cheap (less than £30 if my memory serves correct) and easy part to fix yourself.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

On pressing the clutch there is a very distinct click, squeak audible noise, which as you can imagine becomes very irritable. Any idea what this may be? Quick google doesn’t really point to anything Cayman based. But does seem a problem on other Porsche models And also a rather strong and unpleasant burning smell coming from the rear (mainly passenger rear wheel area), id personally say similar to burning brakes rubber etc, but when felt they are of normal temp Again search leads me to believe it’s what the engines are sealed in, but I can’t help feel that if this was the case they'd find a new product to use, as it’s quite an embarrassing smell, certainly enough to make you turn your head to wonder where it’s coming from. Smell may be normal, but there’s always that thought in the back of my mind that its instantly serious Apart from that, it’s been a pleasure to live with Thanks

Clutch pedal is probably the switch on top of the pedal, cheap (less than £30 if my memory serves correct) and easy part to fix yourself. I had the same issue on my Cayman S and swapped it myself in less than 5 mins. The smell is perfectly normal.
