This came back, badly and somewhat suddenly, at 182K. It seems to be happening a lot more in the very hot weather we're having right now. Does anyone know what 2600rpm has to do with anything? It's...

Already did, but I'll try it again. This one was from Autozone - perhaps it is substandard.

After talking with a bunch of my car-geeky friends, I decided that I really like the stock suspension for what it is - a good compromise of performance and comfort - and this is primarily a daily. I...

It got worse again and I started getting a P0455 as well (Evap System - large leak), so I bought a 996-605-213-01 and replaced it. Interestingly, the noise did not go away, but the code has not...

I don't care about being competitive in AutoX or on the track - I only do it for fun and don't have any interest in beating anything but my previous time. I've been occasionally AutoXing and doing...

Best suspension for street and occasional track/autocross use

Hi folks,
I took a drive up through the mountains of NH today and it's clear to me that the stock shocks are really tired on this car - it takes a while to "settle", and it feels a bit squirrely....

Update

After changing the oil filter and reading a bunch of forum posts about how this is a VarioCam solonoid seal, and how maybe the motor is designed in such a way that perhaps that seal isn't even...

For the record, oil level shouldn't affect oil pressure, AFAIK, unless your oil is so low that the oil pump starves for oil, at which point you have much more serious issues.

Good to know about the oil pressure relief valve though. I do have some ticking at idle when hot as well, though much quieter than what I'm talking about, so I'll replace that too. Thanks!

It was in the middle of the stick, and after searching the forums, I filled it up to the top. I'm about 2000 miles into an oil change.

loud ticking off-throttle below 2600rpm when hot

Hi all,
As the subject says, I'm suddenly getting a loud ticking - sounds like a plastic fan hitting its shroud, or maybe electrical arcing, or vaguely like lifter tap, but not really, off-throttle...

Funny, it seemed normal to me. I was like "Oh it's an old German car. Been HERE before." My S6 used to do it too.

I'd say it took me about 3 hours all told, but if I were to do it again, it would only take me an hour. Most of it was messing up. Here are some tips:

Also I noticed when I was taking it apart that the door lock mechanism says VW and has Audi's four rings on it, but no Porsche markings. Anyone know if it's the same part as on some VW or Audi?

Thanks! We'll see. So far, it's much better - happens less often and is quieter when it does, but it's not totally fixed. I'll probably end up buying one of those.

The mid-throttle noise was definitely from the vent in front of the gas cap - my son and I pinpointed it while driving around with the top down today - Rich XTR called it, though I didn't...

Thanks, totally understood - will do. Sounds like this isn't one of those "Oh yeah that's really common, it's blah blah blah" so it'll require better recordings. I'll use real recording gear. Thanks.

No ideas at all on this? Has anyone else ever had something like this happen? Should I get a better recording?
