fluid noise at start-up
I'm a new 964 owner (93 c4) and I am hearing a running fluid sloshing noise coming from in back when starting from cold. I assume its oil being dumped back nto the tank. Doesn't happen when the engine is warm or hot.
Is this normal?

it's the oil tank in the right rear fender...engine oil pump pressurizes and sends oil back into the tank...perfectly normal. need a louder exhaust!

I consider it 'almost normal', in that after a service I sometimes get it and sometimes don't.
It must, therefore, have something to do with the technique for changing the oil - perhaps one method introduces more air than other methods?

On my original oil tank from 1989 i had no noise at all but on the swap some years ago the standard tank is now a 993 unit - like many parts - the oil gurgled like hell - really p****d me off but my dealer said - tough !

Thanks for the replies - I can't believe that Porsche would find this noise to be acceptable as it really is loud and obvious. When I was showing my teenage daughter my "new" ride she laughed at these start up noises which I tried to dismiss...... Still love the car though and she still thinks I'm wierd...........
