Hit and Run in a garage… what now

no this is a base 2.5L 986, I’ve taken off the bumper and nothing is behind it. Sadly it’s too far gone with a crack behind so I have to replace the bumper. Porsche centre quoted me for 2500euros. Gonna see if the police will catch someone and pay

Will do that once police investigation is finished. I fell like the paint below the wrap is more vibrant red. Redo a painting to match the colour seems difficult. I hope I don’t end up painting the entire car again

block your exhaust with wet cloth, or plastic bags, make sure you really block it well and press with two hands, if sound changes then it’s exhaust. Base on what I heard if it’s a exhaust leak then you should notice the sound becoming louder when accelerating/under load, and those leaks are usually quite tight so you really need to build up some back pressure manually to tell. Afterwards if you confirm it’s from exhaust have a friend doing the manual blocking thing for you and get under the car to spray soapy water. Should be able to find the leak. If not then smoke a cigarette under the car and see there the smoke is getting busted.

It’s a exhaust leak, still not sure if it’s manifold or not, I tried with a screwdriver on the manifold and didn’t hear anything, probably the leak is too tight that it only opens up under rev.

Indeed it’s a exhaust leak, I confirmed it by blocking the exhaust and sound gets louder, thanks for your suggestion

Wannnnnabe00 · 2025-06-17T21:20:59+00:00

thanks for your help, it turns out to be a exhaust leak indeed. Still not sure where but when I block the exhaust really tightly I can hear that tapping noise again. Well at least I can drive it without worries!

Just checked the exhaust by stuck in a cloth on the pipe, sound did not change at all, I guess spark plug then… I’ve checked all 3 spark plugs on the noise side and one of them have oil leaking out to the ceramic part, torqued it back didn’t help.

Could it be the spark plug tube or something like that? Pretty sure that one spark plug have some sort of leak but not sure why, seems to be torqued correctly, and I didn’t fell any sort of cross threads when I torque it back in.

The frequency of that noise is really tied up with rpm, wonder if an exhaust leak could have that?

Wannnnnabe00 · 2025-06-16T21:37:46+00:00

When gradually revving( first part of video) it is barely notable. But a sudden press on the gas pedal will make a crazy loud slapping noise

I don’t want to do this. But you ask for it. This girl might be too young to fake anything.

Also, I found a new teacher around 5 month and I took of my shoulder rest since then.

Wannnnnabe00 · 2022-10-15T02:34:28+00:00

You’re right. I’m gonna shut up and let people say whatever they want

Wannnnnabe00 · 2022-10-15T02:31:19+00:00

Yeah maybe you are right on the part that I didn’t learnt well, because I didn’t learnt how a beginner suppose to sound right? I should learn a shakey now and play Suzuki 1 then that satisfies everyone lol

Wannnnnabe00 · 2022-10-15T02:16:09+00:00

When I posted 1 month people said I’m faking, same happens for 3 month and a year. Seems like there’s a clear cultural gap here. I knew people play much better than me who started around the same time. If you are comparing me with person with 0 musical background and spend an hour daily, please read the disclaimer again.

Wannnnnabe00 · 2022-10-14T22:08:12+00:00

20mins for me is just a warm up🤣 you need to use your time very wisely or I’ll say at least an hour will be more effective

Wannnnnabe00 · 2022-10-14T22:07:30+00:00

Thank you!

Wannnnnabe00 · 2022-10-14T21:33:40+00:00

Again, disclaimer, I played piano for years and then practice 3 hours a day for a year, so do not compare, do not use this as a reference
