About 6 weeks ago my car developed a really annoying rattle coming from behind the driver and seemingly around the rear qtr panel, some days its there and other days its not ,although when its there its there for a few days. the only thing I have done recently in that area is change the seatbelts but that was our first place to look and even with them removed it still rattles.
I have had my Porsche tech round three times looking for it
we have even removed wheels and chacked under the car for heat shields or exhaust clamps we have removed the arch liners and checked the engine bay .
The sound seems to be from inside the car so twice we have removed the bose sub , under the rear window carpet trim the qtr panel the rear seat belts post trim then gone for a drive and its still there the tech in the back listening and pressing every area and its still there , finally we put a borescope down between the metal skin we saw several of the well known rivet heads that break off during production in the gap and a bent wire and blue tack plus a magnet on the rod with some tickling the rivet heads were removed anyway the rattle is still there , I dont have a sunroof or rear windcreen wiper.
On tues we are fitting semi semi solid engine mounts a new OE transmission mount and a millers 10w 50 oil change as its just under 10k miles since I last did it 10 months ago.
the only thing I havent checked is, I fitted a 3rd brake light delete panel from the turbos and havent removed that to see if there is any unused wiring loom rattling about. Other than that I am at a lose end, so thought I would ask you guys if you have experienced the same or have any ideas that I can ask my tech to look at when he's here Tuesday.
What can rattle when all the trim, bose and seatbelts have been removed and its still rattling. its not a knock its a rattle the type of noise you would hear if a bolt was loose or exhaust bracket loose not as tinny as a rattly heat shield .
Thanks for any suggestions or thought gents :thumb: :thumb:
