High-Pitched Whining Sound
When I am decelerating in first or second gear I often hear a high-pitched whining sound coming from the engine (more towards the passenger side I think) that gets louder as the rpms drop, starting around 3000 and getting really loud below 1500. It stops when I step on the clutch. Anyone else experience this or have any idea what's going on?

would almost bet is the power steering resorvoir. i had very similar symptoms. just had the resorvoir changed at the dealership at a tune of $1k. not covered under cpo. there is currently a technical bulliten out by porsche regarding this issue. a technical bulliten is not a recall. good luck

Agreed. It sounds like the power steering resevoir.
The only other high pitched whining noise from the passenger side comes from the wife, which is far more costly to replace.

I am going to the dealer tomorrow to have the leaking oil seal gaskets replaced (under CPO warranty), so I will look into this issue also.

Just had mine replaced two weeks ago. Figure close to $1K for the job. It's so nice to drive now without that whine!

You just bought the car a few weeks ago! I'd drive it right back to the dealer you bought it from and demand that they cover it. (Maybe call 'em first, but you get the idea). No reason you should have to fork over a grand in repairs for a CPO car that you just bought 2-3 weeks ago. The dealership's CPO process should've picked up the whine and repaired it before certifying the car. Just my $.02. GBG

I need a favor from someone that has replaced or is going to replace the power steering resorvoir.
I need it.. I want to look at a failed unit.. I will pay for shipping...

Kevin,
Im going to take mine in next week to get it checked out to make sure Im not hearing things also. After dave1200 turbo burned up.... Im not taking any chances. If it gets replace you can get mine.
Is it the pump or the resorvoir?

Dealer told me today that he will replace the steering oil reservoir under the CPO warranty to address the whining sound. I am supposed to get the car back next week. They also fixed the oil seal gasket leak today under CPO warranty, and are looking into the clutch pedal vibration issue. So far so good.
