993 tapping sound from engine

Post by Steve »

Hi all,

a couple of early teething problems have arisen on my 993 can you help?

on and off tapping sound from the engine at idle..imagine an elf tapping a milk bottle with a pencil :( what could this be? If my hearing is not failing it seems to be coming from around the fan belt area. Anyway, sometimes there and sometimes not.

The other thing is the driver's door trim, the top bit has pulled away from the door by a couple of cm. Maybe someone drove with their elbow on it. It pushes back but springs out again. How can I reattach it?

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks
Steve

Hot engine ? Fast tap ? Slow tap?
