Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi, Today I received delivery of my first Porsche. Had it shipped from Texas to New Jersey. Unfortunately when I first turned on the car, I noticed a ticking noise. I looked through this forum and found that this generation Cayman is known for having a ticking noise. Some threads mention injector noise. Im not sure if thats the case for my Cayman though. Can you guys with more experience check out the videos I posted and let me know what you think? any help is appreciated
I can not say what it is but it is not injector noise. I think I would remove the serpentine belt and start it. If it goes away it is something being driven on the front of the motor. Tensioner pulley or something ??
I have a "ticking" sound as well. I'd like to hear yours however the links you posted are "broken". I have a 2010 base cayman, PDK. Might you send the links to me?...[email removed]
I once chased this in my 986, I might be able to save you a lot of consternation and searching. As crazy as this sounds make sure you don't have a loose spark plug because it sounds like what you described, good luck!
see if this works for you doesnt sound Good at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi6CTE2tWUc&feature=youtu.be
The noise is there and it is definitely not injector. Could be anything - from something relatively innocuous like WP to valve train or... I agree with the idea removing the belt first and see where it goes.
