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.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hoping someone can help with this one! Was in my father-in-laws new 992 turbo s yesterday and noticed that when we stopped, the rear spoiler stayed up when parked. We can go into the console screen, select "Car" and manually lower/raise it but I'm sure with older 911s it did this function automatically? Also noticed the engine has a very distinct rattle on idle which is definitely not something we can hear on the other 911s - is this normal on this variant or something we should get checked out? - I think it's only got 50 miles on the clock and been used once!

Was the weather bad? If the car was in 'Wet' mode the spoiler will stay up but when you drive off in the morning it will revert to the closed position. Not sure what other 911 engines you are comparing with but there is the usual direct injection 'ticking' noise on tickover. Best get it checked if unsure - another reason for a drive.

Was comparing it to a 991 Speedster, I know it's a different engine but it just sounds so much smoother whilst being much throatier too. The Turbo S engine noise wasn't so much a tick on idle, more of a rattle - as you say - best to get it checked out.
