my 968 has suddenly started making a noise like a distant angle grinder. the noise reminds me of the metallic whine my 944 used to make as the gearbox wore out, but in this case is coming from beneath the bonnet somewhere, so it isnt that. there is a fine vibration through the pedals. the noise rises in pitch with engine revs and gets much more noticeable when I move the steering wheel, especially when stationary (though the power steering feels as normal)
Noise is worst just after start-up, becomes less noticeable as I drive along. Was intermittent on friday but now more persistent.
any ideas?
I also have a puncture and the wireless networking and internet access has been inexplicably nonfunctional for the last 2 days with my ISP and router manufacturers blaming each other, so its been one of those weekends.

Well thats possibly the cause of the irritating noise you hear most of the timeNoise is worst just after start-up, becomes less noticeable as I drive along. Was intermittent on friday but now more persistent.

arse
despite the slightly suspect reputation of 968 cabriolets (and their drivers) i am happy to confirm that my arse is in new-from-the-factory original condition and working normallythe car however, remains poorly with a horrible grinding whining sound every time i turn the steering wheel. seeing car-doc tomorrow
note to self: if car sounds like distant angle grinder it may have no fluid in the power steering circuit.
hole in hose leading to power steering pump. £161 + vat and labour. could have been a lot worse.
blow additionally softened by sight of absolutely gorgeous original eggshell blue duck-tail carrera RS parked up awaiting attention, next to a very very early, beautiful black 911. Oh my word
a packet of pork scratchings to KGB1 for correct diagnosis and thanks to everyone who contributed
