911 S - Coupe

38,000 miles

Hello all Got a Sweet deal after saving over 4 years on a 06 911 S with 38k

The car has been checked out by a local tech German Tech (they work on GT2's) I can't seem to replicate this while in his shop.

When the car starts I get a 1 second squeal almost sounds like belt slip, so I did have him replace the belt, but it is still there maybe once a day, course it's intermittent happens in High and Low humidity.

Any thoughts or feedback would be welcomed.

Yes I am a newbie but I CAN'T BELIEVE I finally own a 911 squeal or no squeal :P

Thanks,

Stephen

I would check the oil pressure relief valve.

I have a 2004 Cayenne Turbo, and the exact same anomaly has befallen me. It only occurs at initial start-up, in the fall and winter months. But, after the vehicle is warm (temps up to normal), subsequent start-ups are normal. :huh:

Got it. So when you say check should I look for wear, leaks ??? Would you guys recommend a fair online source for parts.

BTW Pretty cool to post without any sarcasm as a reply. Great forum I'm off to donate. :thumbup:

Thanks

Well the spring and or piston (on the valve) could be sticking or bad.

This was a (TSB corrected) problem on some 987's but I had not heard of it on a 997 yet.

This sure sounds the same if it only happens when the oil is cold.

Well finally caught this sound on my iPhone. Of course didn't do it in the shop. I did pass on the forum suggestions to him and he checked oil pressure relief valve and belts.

I am talking at the beginning but you can hear the squeal on start :

This might be a first 997-1 squeal caught on iPhone.

Thanks Guys, :help:

Murphy's Law and to my amazement haven't heard the sound since I posted it. I have read with a Porsche to not worry so much unless a sound\issue is occurring frequent enough that it can be traced. After spending 50k can't really afford to start swapping parts

Thoughts on this??

Thanks Again Guys
