postamble(); But this is ridiculous - or perhaps its just a trait of the boxer configuration. When my car 2002 C4S (so the 3.6L engine) is started from cold sounds great (a whine then a bark - stay with me its difficult to describe!) But when I start it from hot - if its off for a minute or two/or if I have stalled it(happened once) - it sounds like a bag of old nails - or an old tractor. When I start it from hot if its only been off a minute or two I don't wait for the oil measurement count down which could say its got 2 minutes or more until measurement - I assume thats OK (the oil measurement is optional isn't it?) Is this clattering on a hot start normal? Migration info. Legacy thread was 77517

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.

yes ! gets worse when it gets colder ! but as soon as it warms up the C4S sounds like one of the best standard 911's around Migration info. Legacy thread was 77531
You should hear a GT3 start up from cold (esp mk1) - they sound like bits are going to come flying out the casing! Also, there aren't many engines which don't have a bit of a grumble at hot starting Dunc Migration info. Legacy thread was 77551
