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.

It has only occured to me that this might be a problem, but 6mths in and I am loving the audible noise that comes from the engine when changing the gears.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It has only occured to me that this might be a problem, but 6mths in and I am loving the audible noise that comes from the engine when changing the gears. This is particually pronounced when in low gears/low rev's with the top down. Is this normal or have I been enjoying the warning sound of my first engine blow up?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Perhaps if I better define this as a 'clunking' mechanical sound I will elicit a response. The fact that I haven’t makes me wonder if it is really just my car.

POST 3Original post

It would also help if you mentioned what the car is: engine, manual/pdk, etc Assuming that it is a manual transmission, my Cayman has a very positive gearchange that can sound clunky (you can almost hear the selectors being pushed into place) when it is not being drowned out by the engine running at full chat... :-)

POST 5Original post

Hearing the linkage moving is not unusual in mid engined cars - my Cayman is audible with the radio off...
