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 performed work without a confirmed outcome: 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.

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.

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

I’ve got two strange noises coming from my Cayman – 1. I get a “clunk” every now and then when I run over a bump, tar strip, etc. It sounds like it is coming from the rear hatch. This is not a PASM car . . . just a stock Cayman. Is it the same “clunk” that’s in the poll? 2. There is a rattling sound when I back off the accelerator. It sounds similar to an engine knock but I’m not accelerating. I’m backing off the gas. I don’t notice it so much when I am in 4th or 5th gear. It is quite noticeable when I am in 2nd or 3rd. Are these sounds normal? I had a Boxster S several years ago and I do not recall the engine noise. (Of course the Boxster wouldn’t have made the rear hatch sound.)

If you do a search on the word "clunk," you will get a week's worth of reading on this problam that some people seem to have, and others don't, some fixes, both from the dealer and some DYI solutions, and plenty of history, opinions and such... it's nearly folkloric... The rattling noise is probably something loose - like an exhaust hanging bracket or heat shield - give the service writer a quick ride and see if you can reproduce the noise so they can look for it and fix it. Likewise, when your there, ask them to address the the clink problem, too. brad
