Do you have the 8spd tip?

Mohammed

Sorry but i dont understand whst do you mean could u explain plz

BaysideC4

I didn't realize that you had an "S". I wanted to know if you had a 6-speed manual or 8-speed Tiptronic. I understand now that it is the 8 spd.

I'm picking mine up tomorrow, will let you know if I hear that noise.

Mohammed

Yes my cayenne is S snd 8 speeds

waiting for ur feedback

Mohammed-- Who is your dealer?

I think Rome had mentioned a similar sound in his review which came from below the center console. Is this the same place you hear the noise Mohammed ? Why the new avatar Rome. I really liked your previous one. This one is nice too BTW.

Mohammed

Rome. . My dealer al baraq porsche Qatar
woot it is exactly the place for the noise

rome

I think what he describes is different, more mechanical... when he switches from 2-3rd gear.

My problem has been solved by the fine gents at IRA Porsche. It turns out that the sound was actually coming from the overhead light. It was being cause by a loose circuit board in the unit which was tapping against a metal or plastic piece. It's fixed and it makes a word of difference. I also have not burned any oil in 700 miles or so, so overall, I'm starting to feel much better about this '11 CS.

About the avatar...well, all I will say is the old one will be back soon enough, unfortunately....

rome

I was hoping it was someone we knew of in the US. I don't hear such a sound. Honestly, the switch from 2nd to third is so quick it is barely noticeable.

Have you tried it in sport mode to see if it is there too. Perhaps also try to use the tip tronic to put it in second, then thrid, and drive with it there for a while to see if there is anything unusual.

Best of luck getting to the bottom of the issue.

Mohammed

Thanx for ur replay i tried the sport mode and in tiptronic and the same noise appear
the problem is porsche keep saying we are waiting the responde about the problem!

I have the same noise in my CS 11. My dealer has been trying to figure it out. The Porsche factory representative has no answers as yet. I was told that no other owners of CS 11s have advised of this noise. Glad to know I am not alone.

Mohammed

haha i'm glad so that i'm not alone now !!

are u sure u have exactly the same ?
noise between changing the gear in low speed ?

and what is ur dealer ?

Rstraughn

It's the same noise. Low speed low gear knock ( like bad gas) when accelerating. I can have the car in neutral and make the noise happen with a slight rev of the engine. I can only hear the knock/tic inside the car. They think it might be the high speed fuel injector next to the fire wall which they want to insulate. My dealer is Reeves in Tampa. Reeves has been very proactive in finding the cause and I am hope it will be solved. I love car, it was met all my expectations. Owned since August and has 7500 miles.

Mohammed

i think the noise also hear outside the car
whatever .. i'm also owned my car since august and has 5500 km only
