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.

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.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just picked up my (new to me) 03 996 C2 from OPC Newcastle on Friday. After a drive of about 100 miles yesterday when I pulled up on my drive I noticed a noise I can only describe like noisy central heating/air locked radiators coming from the vicinity of the passenger airbag. This morning with the engine cold when I turned on the ignition but before firing up the engine the noise was present again. It went off after driving but but I noticed it again putting the car into the garage tonight. I lifted the bonnet and could hear the noise in the luggage compartment near to where the screenwash filler is but it is much louder inside the car. I'll be ringing OPC tomorrow to investigate in the meantime has anyone any ideas what it might be. Thanks A

POST 2Original post

Bought my 2002 996 in Nov last year and it's never done what you describe. I'd get it back to the garage asap. Suggest you keep an eye on tyre wear if you're running 285's as mine wore in 4.5k miles. Porsche and Pirelli both suggest a PSI which is way too high for normal driving.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Spoken to OPC who suggest it might be the aircon gurgling. I'm going back in on Friday for them to take a look. Yes I'm running 285s, I think the handbook says 3 bar iirc. Its got new Michelin Cups on so I'm hoping to get more than 4.5K miles.

POST 4Original post

I have 265s on mine (Michelin PS) and I am having to replace them at 3.5K. I think its normal if you drive the car in any way shape or form it was designed for. Thrash it and enjoy!
