These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

Hi Guys; I have a 2004 base Boxster. The engine was replaced by Porsche in September 2013. Here is my problem: There is a whistling/whining sound coming from the right rear. It is more pronounced on de-acceleration. I can't replicate it when stopped and revving the engine I don't seem to hear the sound either. The car still performs well, but the sound is annoying to say the least. From my minimal poor description, anyone have an idea as to what's going on? Pulley while under load? Thanks, Mitch.

POST 3Original post

Turbo decel whistle ? Being factitious, just put a TT sticker on your car.Enthusiasts will think you retrofitted a 996TT engine :-). JFP is right & it is a great excuse to get underneath to check everything before the cool New York winter begins. Vacuum leak ?
