Whining when decelerating

[s1vyr]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to 996 ownership and, not having my own money printing company, nervous about any noise it makes ever .

I have noticed a whining noise coming from the front passenger side during deceleration, mainly between 2500 and 1500 revs. It seems to go away when I touch the accelerator - just there when I am coasting.

I have recently fitted (badly) a hard top, so there is the possibility of wind noise. But I suspect that is clutching at straws, as it doesn't seem to be speed dependant.

Any ideas?

Apparently,

It is really helpful if you list:

· Model year

· Body Style (i.e. C2 Coupe, C4 Cab, C4S Cab, etc.)

· Transmission type (i.e. 6 speed or Tiptronic)

· Interior color (when relevant)

· Country specific information (LHD, RHD, RoW, US, Canada)

So

• 1999
  C4 Cab
  Manual
  Black (with optional dog hair)
  RHD

Sounds like the 4WD - check the oil level in the front axle.

Also, since this is your first 996 you might want to test drive another C4 and see if the noise is only in your car.

At the risk of uncontrollable laughter - how?

U-LOL..... :)

Have you checked your steering wheel position, RHD doesn't seem, uh, right.

Good luck Amigo.
