Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

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

Reported cause
It turned out to be no more than the resonance in the tyres which were about 50% worn.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi guys i have a porsche boxter3.2s. i was out last week end and on my way home i started hearing a wearing type of noise from it sounded like the rear to mid of the car. it is not bad but just a faint wearing when the car in in motion. any idears. cheers brian

POST 2Original post

Pretty impossible to diagnose here bjt assuming all else is ok perhaps wheel bearing or water pump. If you are unsure and can't rule out the engine then get it recovered to your local specialist. Where in the country are you?

POST 3Original post

Many years ago i had a 3.2 S and had a noise which sounded like a worn rear wheel bearing. It turned out to be no more than the resonance in the tyres which were about 50% worn. Can't remeber the make of the tyrers I'm afraid.

thanks lads for your info.

POST 6Original post

Next time it does it try slipping the car into neutral and see it the speed of the noise changes. If it does its likely to be engine/transmission related, if it doesn't then tyres, wheel bearing, etc.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
