I got a base 992, picked up new in December, 2023 model. I have done 2700 miles and noticed more than average vibration and groaning noise from the engine when driving slow in normal mode mainly between 1500 - 2000 revs. Is this normal. It does become less noticeable in sports mode. Any fellow 992 owners noticed this too? Is it normal thing in 992s. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Can't say I've noticed this Docmem.

Has it been like this from day one, or something developed over time?

Noticed since day 1. Not spoken to the dealer yet. Will update but was just checking the fellow owners

Interesting thread and touching wood I can't say I've noticed this as I'm quite sensitive to sounds and rattles etc. I do get an occasional vibration behind the dash though dependant on road surfaces and I know this is also a common fault on some 992's.

Seems like the problem you're talking about is more common on the base 992 Carrera's, and it might be due to the engine tune if it's rpm related, as the base might be sitting at lower revs in normal driving conditions compared to an S or GTS. But there is the odd C2S and Turbo S owner who has noticed the issue in the Rennlist thread as well, so don't know...
