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.

I was very impressed by Gunter's shop and in particular how well they run the place and how well they listened to me and my explanations of the problem.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

My car has had a buzzing rattle from the back for as long as I've had the car and it has been driving me nuts. Based on the posts and articles here on P-9, I assumed it was the rear hatch. Since I'm not comfortable taking interior pieces apart, I took the car to (4) shops trying to get this fixed (2 dealers, an Indy and a Porsche body shop). They all focused on the hatch but also checked other things in and under the car. The first 3 shops could not fix it although two of them said it was not the hatch. I finally took the car to Gunter at Porsche of Fremont and they listened, heard and acknowledged the noise and then quickly and systematically tracked it down to the parking brake cable which had excessive play and was vibrating and banging on stuff. They replaced the cable under warranty and all is quiet now. Whoo Hoo! Gunter told me the hatch rattle problem was well documented for the 987.1 including a service bulletin but that the issue was fixed in the design with the 987.2 . I was very impressed by Gunter's shop and in particular how well they run the place and how well they listened to me and my explanations of the problem. I now plan to use them for future Cayman service. I won't name the other 3 shops, but I still believe the indy does excellent work and does the body shop. Both continue to help me get the 911 sorted.
