Had my new Cayman for just over 6 weeks and 750 miles in. Last week I thought I'd go a bit of debris under the car as could hear a tinny rattle/scraping noise. Pulled over and checked the underside, wheels, brakes etc and nothing. Starting driving again, listening, nothing so assumed it was something that I'd picked up and was cleared.
Just been out for my usual run and after an hour of driving A & B roads enjoying the drive it happened again, although the noise was still there after I stopped and re-started and seemed to be coming from the engine bay (from the central section behind my left elbow). Sounded like a tinny metallic rasping, something rubbing on a fan of something caught in a moving part. Drove home gingerly and cleared before I got home - when back again checked for any debris but nothing.
It's a worrying noise as it does seem to be coming from the engine bay, although I don't have the kit to open up and take a look, plus being a brand new car I don't think I should. However the OPC is 3 hours away and I don't want to take the trip unless I have to.
Anyone got any thoughts or pointers?
Thanks, Colin
