It sounds to me like some metal part or even a hose is touching another part and simply vibrating. I would keep listening for the general area where it’s coming from, and start putting your hand in...

This has only a little to do with the OP’s post, but still relevant to the overall discussion.

One consideration on patch versus replacement is whether the tire has suffered any side wall damage,...

I’ve been able to stretch mine to my kids, 10 and 12. And my 12 is 5’5”, and yeah, it’s tight for her behind my seat (I’m 6’0”), but she can sit behind my wife on the passenger side OK. Sure, it’s...

What Joe said.

The oil pressure sending unit should not read 2bar with the engine off. Yes, oil pressure builds in 1 sec on these cars.

Do you ever start the car and run it for less than a minute, such as to move it? Or start the car and let it idle to warm it up? Or let it idle for periods of time?

This post is brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

BTW, the whole 3rd radiator thing is a very common discussion point in the 996 world. Probably because, as a heat exchanger ages, it becomes less...

I have a buddy who spent 5 figures sorting his E46 M3, versus my car, which is bone stock. A data point of one or two is not helpful.

Overall, these are both German cars, and they are both hit or...

Well, you can’t go wrong, but drive it to make sure. Turbos handle differently.

I remember looking at a 28k-mile blue 996 in 2016, and they wanted $28k for it, which was a tad high at the time.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just read that engine cooling is limited at higher elevation due to the thinner air. Basically, you’d need a lot more airflow across the radiator to get the same...

Wranglers are fun. And your kids are going to be driving soon enough anyway. If you really want to hear them complain, get a manual Wrangler :)

I always thought how cool would it be for an automatic transmission to actually do all the work, and shift for you, but it’s still a manual if you want it to be.

The auto-lock feature, while arguably more secure if one were to get car jacked, probably does wear out locking components more than not.

Collectible, no. But just go and look at any plain-Jane 911 from the late 70’s or early 80’s, and they are still desirable and not cheap.

Has anybody ever called Chavis Performance? They do LS swaps for 996s, and I always wondered if some of those M96s that are removed are just fine.

I was just in an electric BMW 5 series today (wife’s car is in service), and the first thing I did was change regen to Full so that when cars in front of me are braking, I can just regen.

IMO, the low speed fans are not very loud or noticeable, which is by design. They will likely come on in very heavy stop and go traffic after about 30-40 mins or driving. At highway speed, they will...
