A customer came with his Porsche to check the Engine of the Porsche Carrera because the Engine was not working well and making noise. He requested to check the car thoroughly.

Quick Fit Auto Center checked the car carefully. We installed one Drive belt, one tensioner, two of the idler pulley and one radiator small hose. This made his Porsche Carrera much better. We also did the road test for customer satisfaction and made a written report for it. We inspected his Porsche Carrera fully. 

Porsche’s Engine System And Problems:

When an unfamiliar noise starts coming from somewhere under the hood, people get scared. They may not know enough about complex engine systems to know if it’s something to worry about or not. Many of the newer engines have overhead camshafts with longer timing chains. A timing chain connects the crankshaft to the camshaft to ensure the valves open at the proper time. The slack in these chains is usually kept tight by hydraulic tensioners. The chains ride against a nylon guide (a chain guide) which, in time, begins to wear. At the point where the chain guides are worn beyond the ability of the hydraulic tensioner to take up the slack, the timing chain begins to rattle. This noise is caused by the timing chains becoming so loose that they whip back and forth against the guides and possibly the timing cover.

Oil Pressure Problem:

If the oil pressure is correct, the replacement of the hydraulic tensioners and chain guides would be required. A mechanic’s stethoscope is a great tool to pinpoint this noise. If the noise is loudest when touching the timing cover with the stethoscope disassembly would be required to confirm and to repair the problem. This is a semi-major job for most of these engines and would usually cost in the four-digit range.

Noise Issue:

Some of the causes of these engine noise problems are due to improper fuel octane, engine overheating, improper ignition timing, the EGR valve not functioning properly, and problems with the computer or knock sensor. All these conditions can cause the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders to ignite before it’s supposed to. This creates multiple flame fronts in the cylinder fighting each other and causing the pinging and rattling noise. Check your owner’s manual to make sure you’re using the right grade of fuel. Or you can switch to a higher grade for a period and see if the noise goes away. If it doesn’t, you’ll want to look at these other possible causes.
