Cayenne Turbo S - Timing chain rattle on startup
Hi guys,
This is my first post on here and a cry for help unfortunately. Two things have happened to my Turbo in pretty much immediate succession, coincidence or not? My coolant pipes went whilst doing 60mph last week, crawled it 30 seconds to the closest petrol station, it didn't overheat on the temp gauge luckily. It got collected on a low loader the following morning and on start up sounded perfectly fine and taken to my trusty local independent Porsche specialist. Upon starting at the garage a horrendous noise came from the timing chain area which went away after a few seconds.
Im wondering if any of you can please give me a hand with your suggestions. Sounds like it could be pricey to me!!
Thanks
Tim

When I bought my 957TT it needed a new chain, was very expensive at ~£6000 for labour alone (apparently) so I would explore all other avenues first!
Luckily mine was covered under pre-purchase warranty, hope yours is a relatively cheap fix..
