Porsche Boxster 987 - ticking Sound
Discussion
Hi, I brought a porsche 987 2005 about a month ago. It was all running lovely and sounded great. But then I noticed the exhaust was blowing a little and also I was getting a burning rubber/plastic smell. I climbed under the car and found a number of small holes in the 2 back boxes which I gun gummed and the blow sent away but since then the car ticking over doesn't sound the same. It is a bit ticky and the great sound low rev / tickover deep sound is not then and the smell is still there. To drive it seems fine and when you put your foot down it still sound great then, but like I say it just doesn't seem the same?
Fair point I can't see, hear or feel any other blows on the boxes but it is possible that there is still a blow further back in the system. A friend suggested putting a cloth over the exhurst pipe and see if it cuts out. If it does there is no leaks but if it continues to run then the exhurst gases are getting out somewhere else. But I was a but concerned about chasing other problems by doing that?
Had another listen to the car last night and it diffenently sounds different to before. It has lost it deep tone even just ticking over and it is not until you get to high revs that you here a nice sound roar. It maybe this is how it is meant to sound and with the holes in it, it was sounding deeper before but it is also a bit disappointing if it is.
