Hello Everyone,
I have a 02 Porsche 996 that is having these issues
--the car has a peculiar straining type noise when cold only.
--more pronounced when decelerating - going down hill to a stop; the sound happens at idle speed or very low RPM.
--noise seems to get louder for a second when accelerating, then goes away with an increase in RPM say above 1500 RPM.
--Seems to be related to internal oil movement
--noise goes away when the engine is warmed up..
Please send any info/help to my email address ggodbout1@live.com Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
