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.

The belt was just replaced a few weeks ago and I checked it and it's appears with normal tension so that's not it.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone help. I'll try to describe: Recently I have noticed that when the car starts cold and it does it's usual swooosh sound but it also has a loud rattle that almost sounds like the belt or alternator gone bad. It sort of reminds me in a way of my '78 911SC before the alternator went toast. There is also a whining sound but I think that's farily normal. The belt was just replaced a few weeks ago and I checked it and it's appears with normal tension so that's not it. It only does this upon cold start with the high rev. Anyone ever experience this? I'm worried. The voltage gauge seems normal too.

Dude, your car is f##ked..... Only joking. I have the same deal. When it starts, its a little ugly. The dealer says its cool, as does the local shop.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Man, you totally freaked me out. Of course I read your line way below only to be releaved. You got me on that one. So they didn't explain the possibilities? Anyway, thanks for your response and I really do appreciate your humor! Gerardo

POST 4Original post

It might be a loose baffle in the silencer box - mine did that and it took the local OPC several visits before he correctly diagnosed the problem. The rattle goes if you place non-rubber soled shoe over the exhaust....
