Anyone had their 911 in the shop for a few days? Mine is in there to replace the elevated brake light below the spoiler (under warranty) which is already fixed, but I'm also asking them to address an interior panel rattle.
This is my 6th day without my car and I'm driving a snoozefest of a loaner Cayenne. My DD is even more of a snoozefest.
I'm singing the blues. Anybody else been in this situation? What do you advise? Regular cars are SOOOOOOOOO boring.....
Yes for the past 6 days now :/ as stated in my other thread… for gps/nav module not working warnings, low mpg fuel economy, and couple minor other issues, but still no real update from the dealer.
Only positive out of all this time is getting a nice comfy Cayenne coupe to abuse on road trips.
Before getting my 911, I would have thought this is a cry-baby thread. But I have seen the light. Now I understand. I fear the eventual withdrawal upon servicing...
Btw, the blues are about to end for me shortly. Getting my car back within the hour. Sadly, they haven't quite figured out what is causing the cabin rattle

A lot of the rattle issues on the 992 (including mine) are from the lower door seals which they replaced and resolved from an earlier visit. The glass sunroof can also cause rattles.
Mine is unique, from what the techs are telling me.
You hear a buzzing sound from the passenger rear with heavy throttle. It also accompanies downshifts at low speeds. So it has something to do with engine vibrations transmitting through the cabin.
They looked at all of the paneling in the area and didn't find any issues with any clips, etc. Now they want to replace the speaker tweeter. Music through the speaker has always sounded clean and crisp, so it's weird.
It's not that big of a deal if this problem never gets solved, it's not a huge issue. But heck, if I can get this addressed under warranty for free, why not?

Do you get the buzzing sound with the stereo both on and off?
I had a buzzing noise on my 991 C4S on the passenger side speaker under hard throttle only when the Bose stereo was turned on. It would go away for about a week or two if I pounded the speaker with my fist a couple of times. Never bothered to take her into the dealer, I figured the less they take apart the panels the better.

I had a very annoying high pitched buzzing or chirping sound coming from the left rear seat area. It usually happened around highway speeds (50+ mph) and was persistent. It turned out to the the left rear pass seatbelt holder. When I tapped on it, it would buzz/rattle much more so than the seatbelt holder on the right rear. I had a passenger sit in the back and when she pressed on the left rear seatbelt holder, the buzzing/clicking went away. I put the seatbelt buckle into the holder and that has pretty much eliminated the noise. Not sure if that is your issue, but try putting the seatbelt buckle into the holder and see if that eliminates the buzzing.
With respect to speakers, the driver's side door on my car rattles when I play music with strong bass. Going to take it in to dealer to fix. Hopefully they won't break or lose any clips and make it worse.
I gave up. I asked Porsche to buy back my car. I have too many issues dealers keep telling me they hear and agree with me that it doesnt sound right at all. But all end up telling me Porsche said its normal characteristic. Not buying it or accepting that nonsense.
1.) Clicking noise is driving me nuts now that I have been driving in normal mode (got tired the pops 24/7)
2.) Low harmonic drone "honk" 1500-1900 rpm.
3.) Passenger seat vibrates like a tuning fork unless someone sit in it.
4.) Passenger seat has a rattle
5.) PDK paddles didnt work when I picked it up. Shifter started blinking the PARKING LED when going down highway. Replaced.
6.) Comfort access doesn't work 100% of time.

Cayenne sounds pretty awesome compared to the Prius I was given by a Cincinnati dealership.
The problem is the Cayenne is a base. I guarantee you if they handed you a GTS or Turbo version, you'd be much happier Hey, at least its Porsche. I was given a Toyota Avalon loaner not too long ago and had to drive it for a day. It was so bad, that I thought "So, this is what Hell is like".
This will make you appreciate your 992 all over again when you get it back.

It happens irrespective of whether the speakers are on or off
