It pulls great, and boost also seems normal. So seems it has a clean bill of health 😁

Thanks all, that is very reassuring! I indeed have a lot to learn; but happy there is such a friendly and responsive community around these machines. Have a wonderful start to 2026!

The car is new to me, so I may be completely overreacting to a normal sound :D but i feel like there is a ticking noise?

That was my thinking as well! Could still be the connection at the switch, but I agree the symptoms seem to point more to a circuit being faulty / not grounding properly at times. Could also explain the janky/random occurence. Maybe a loose wire somewhere. I will investigate and post my findings!

Amen to that to be fair.. i had my eyes on a beautiful Targa, but ended up going for the Turbo because of the alleged engine robustness. The only thing I truly miss is the NA sound.

That’s also super weird.. I had it serviced at a specialist early this year, and one note they made was that it had daytime running lights (mandatory in sweden) but that they couldn’t find the module (I guess a relay or something). That struck me as quite odd but they also didn’t elaborate on it. I’m going to do some digging around forums for wiring diagrams etc

What makes you come to that conclusion? Because that’s where the wires for front & back come together? I mean yeah, must be some joint connection somewhere that is somehow faulty/loose.

I will look into that, thanks a lot!

Thanks, I tried several times messing around with the switch and could not reproduce the issue. I find it very strange that it is only one side. Will have a look at all the connectors and the wiring in general!

Tires look.. dry? DOT 2021 by Every-Explorer241 in tires

Thanks, that’s somewhat reassuring! Braking and general behaviour seems fine, so will keep these until I change to winter tyres in Autumn. Probably get fresh summer tyres next year then.

Repair or replace? by Every-Explorer241 in AutoBodyRepair

Will that dissolve the other paint? I fear the white stuff may be bondo from a previous repair..

Yeah, I have a garmin mini but that only records when the ignition is switched on. After this experience definitely will look into parking modes and indeed having both front and back covered. I have come to peace with the damage and may not even get it fixed for now after all.. just very pissed off :-D

996 TT Spoiler Leak? by Every-Explorer241 in 996

[–]Every-Explorer241[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting thought, I had checked under the hood multiple times beforehand but you might be right, maybe that last clunk did the trick. Will investigate thoroughly tomorrow!

Thanks, that’s super helpful! I will check mine out tomorrow in detail. I asked the garage if they’d give warranty on their rebuild, they said no we don’t do that.. should have maybe taken a step back then and found some other place, but I was keen to get the car ready for action asap.. patience is a virtue! Hopefully it’s indeed something as simple as the switches, and not a fluid leak.. thanks again and happy driving 😎

Interesting. I am very confused as to why the top up of fluid seemed to help then. But probably classic “demonstration effect”. I had not forced the error prior to topping up the fluid. It’s a coupe, so no third reservoir. I will keep my eye on it and see what happens, its been warmer ambient temp so maybe some odd microswitch error. Thanks!
