electronic beeping noise?

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have not had my Cayman long (I am in Yorkshire) and have noticed when the car is idleing or sometimes when I have the clutch depressed I notice a very quiet what sounds like an electronic beeping noise - It seems to be coming from in front of me but I can't work out where or what it is. More importantly is it a fault - has anyone else heard this or know what it is?

Thanks in advance for any advice/help and hopefully it will put my curious mind at rest!

James

Re: electronic beeping noise?

If it is a fault, there would be a fault code displayed. Have you noticed on the RPM guage if there is a lit display that looks like an exclamation mark? We could help you more if any of the above were true...or if you gave any other clues about the situation. You stated it was during idle, so that rules out the beep for the speed limit notifier (which you can set/change on the computer). I have mine at 86 mph. But that does not seem to be your issue.

Any issues with tire pressure....causing the TPMS sensor to send a signal to the computer?

Thats all I can guess for now.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have checked and there is no warning light on or anything and everything else seems to be fine. Its a really quiet noise and its not coming from the engine area.

I guess I will monitor and see if it goes away or not. I have a year left on my OPC warranty so that gives me a bit of comfort at least!

Thanks again,

James
