This post contains images of Porsche bodgery that may cause offense to some viewers.....
My car had been emitting a buzzing noise from the NS exhaust which was both irritating and embarrassing. After having a poke around I found a couple of the pipe support plates had come away on one end which was the cause of the buzzing.
So I stripped the bumper and heat shields off the car so the plates could be welded (a 3rd broken one was found under the heat shield). All done and the car now sounds as good as ever but without the background buzz!
Whilst everything was apart I also took the opportunity to give the whole system a spruce up, a big improvement IMO;
Whilst I was under the car poking around I had also noticed a braided pipe which appeared to be doing nothing. However once all the heat-shields were off, the mystery was solved, along with answering why the PSE does not work!
Not too clear in the picture but it looks like the actuator rod that attaches to the valve has been cut off so I'm not sure if a new one can be attached or if the whole thing would need to be replaced?
Thoughts?
