ATM Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 1 hour ago, iborguk said: Does the noise increase/decrease with the blower fan speed ? I recently had a piece of insulation fall onto the blower fan blades of my 987.2 and it made a horrible noise. I was able to get in from the cabin pollen filter and retrieve it. The noise sounded like the video in this post. https://www.planet-9.com/threads/strange-noise-when-turning-on-fans.247084/ None of this of course might be relevant to your issue. Fan sounds fine when AC is off. I keep the fan on always as I've been through times when it sticks and it's now a known issue. I usually leave the AC off always. Only turned it on as it was very hot and my car had been baking in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea but probably unlikely since it's a safety recall and they have the responsibility to ensure the work is completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATM Posted November 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Finally made some effort to get the leak looked at or fixed. Spoke to a couple of garages. No one seems interested. Found one willing to give it a go that is reasonably local. Still waiting for confirmation so I can drop it off. Guy said it might be the clutch fluid pipe. I didn't even know there was a clutch fluid pipe so fingers crossed now that they will book me in and that it is the clutch pipe. I felt bad looking at the state of my soft top which is all sorts of nasty as it's not been cleaned for years. Then found a half cover for sale second hand so I've bought it. If I can get the leak fixed then cleaning will come shortly after. Out of curiosity has anyone tried a little lithium ion battery in their 981?

I think there might be pipes on the 911 cars which have a clutch fluid cooler. Soon find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATM Posted January 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Contacted Asutrian Gear On 12/4/2021 at 10:31 AM, ATM said: Car is now with Austrin Gearbox Specialist https://austrin-engineering.co.uk/ Contacted them today to let them know the MOT is expiring in a couple of weeks. They said they are still waiting for some seals to arrive to complete the work. They suggested they organise an MOT for me so I said Yes please. Feels like it could be at least a couple of weeks or more before the car is ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
