I have now covered a hard 26000 Kms/ 16000 Miles ,in my 997 TT.
I have noticed more and more a gradual increase of engine "rattle " noise.
This can be heard for sure when driving slowly at about 40 kmh/25 Mph in third gear.
It is a dry rattle sound from the engine not the transmision.
I have visited the local Porsche dealer who says this is normal !
To me it sounds bad for such an expensive supercar ! ok if it was a diesel !
How many other owners are suffering from this NON exotic noise?
I also get a good amount of blue smoke on start up for a few seconds on the first start of the day.
I use the car everyday and I have already had two new turbos under warranty in June this year.
Should I be persuing Porsche for a new engine before the warranty runs out in January 2009 ?
Thanks for any help.
