+1 excellent point. WRS, if the noise comes back, you may want to fiddle with the e-brake handle while coasting to see if the noise changes. I didn't even think about the shoes, I didn't realize they had drum e-brakes. (Porsche newbie) Actually, even if it's not making noise now, you can pull up on the e-brake handle momentarily WHILE HOLDING THE RELEASE BUTTON when coasting, and if the shoes are worn to the rivets you'll hear them.
