Hampster wheel in engine?
mkazemi71 replied to 99-996's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I had this on my 99 996 I chased this **** noise for weeks. I started at about 2850 rpm and by 3000 rpm turned into a high pitch sound from the radio. once past 3000 went away (well I could not hear it at least). Turned out the rear bearing in the alternator is a sealed unit that had water get into it. I took it apart and fixed it with a $25 bearing from a local parts store. Just matched up part numbers from the old one. You can take the belt off of the car and spin the pulleys by hand and see which one it is to be sure. Good luck. Careful with techs they have expensive habits they need to pay for.
