    997 MY07 C2S call for help ! (noises, cracks, rattles and buzzes inside)

    Guys,

    My MY07 997 C2S is the best car I've had, but also on some circomstances the worst I had...

    I have never had a car with that many noises, cracks, rattles and buzzes in the cockpit, I'm getting crazy...

    1. Left door: something must be broken in there... as soon as there is very little bass coming from the speakers, it does a glinglingling that you don't even hear in a 1000€ Renault. Even worse, it does it a lot without the stereo on, just going on a few bumps is enough. Even worse (!), it does a continuous glinglingling when driving on highways between 120 and 150km/h. I brought the car to Porsche (it's under warranty but noises are not covered, yeehaa). They removed the door panel, test drove the car, no more noise. The added some damper, put the panel back, and the noise is back. They told me the door panel has multiple layers and that they would have to remove all of them to find the source of this annoying noise. If something is broken, then it's under warranty. If nothing is broken, then they would have to charge me ~500€ for removing all the panels, fixing the issue, and putting them back... 500€ !!!

    2. Right rear: everytime I accelerate, I get something like a spring noise from the right rear of the car. Same goes (but less noise) when I decelerate. If I start the car slowly accelerating after a traffic light, it's awful... In fact, as soon as the rear of the car leans backward, I get this awful noise. I have no idea where it comes from (inside the cockpit or outside of the car). Again, I brought the car to Porsche, they heard it, said it was not normal, added some grease here and there, and told me they would have to charge me another 500€ to spend more time on it to find the source of the noise.

    3. All the other ones: when the car is cold, the dash is rattling on the right. When driving at 120km/h, the center console is buzzing. What else... the belt fixation on the right is cracking...

    I could live with 3., I'm having a hard time living with 2., but 1. is seriously making me crazy, so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated !

    And oh... appart from all those noises, the car is FANTASTIC ! Smiley


    Re: 997 MY07 C2S call for help ! (noises, cracks, rattles and buzzes inside)

    I'm very sensitive to noises myself and my from my experience dealerships are very bad at identifying noises. It takes lots of time usually and 2 persons are needed, so they don't devote much effort.

    My advice is to ask a friend or family member who likes cars to spend time with you in the car. One of you to drive and the other to try to trace the source of noise by listening carefully, touching pieces of trim, sitting at the rear seats etc. Usually it's something very simple and often it's also ambient temperature related.

    With this method I cured many noises on a Boxster I had.

    Good luck!

    Re: 997 MY07 C2S call for help ! (noises, cracks, rattles and buzzes inside)

    Do a search on rattles, glovebox lock/latch is notorious for a torx fastener loosening within the lock mechanism. Also, tug on door release latch slightly to see if that eliminates rattle, both driver's and passenger's side known for rattling, although I'd be surprised if dealer missed that one. Check rear interior panel that is mounted under rear glass. Panel is secured by spring clips that can pop out or come loose. Just push on panel to insure that it's secure. Has an aftermarket sound or radar system been installed, seems like you've got an unusually high number of rattles? One inexperienced installer can easily hack up your Porsche causing a pandora's box of issues!

    I have removed the door panel and could not see anything wrong in there...

    I have added some more dampers, and tested again, it's a lot better now, but still not perfect though... it seems like most of the remaining noise comes from the door handle... any known fix for that one ?

    Thx ! ;)
