I wonder if the oil is the issue? I was topping my oil up with 5w40 C40 as I couldn't find the 0w40 C40. The ticking didn't seem too bad... but I've since found 0w40 C40 and added about half a quart and the ticking is more noticeable now. I can't see a half quart of oil changing it but who knows?

Do you drive your car regularly, or let it sit for a few days at a time? I noticed issue on my 981 over a year ago...experienced the noise, and it then going away during drive after it sitting during the week, as I've been driving the car less and less during my ownership
Still anxiously waiting for an update from SPYDERJAILA.

(1) The very common idle speed ticking - that does not disappear but even increase when the engine is heated up - but sometimes decreases after some thousend miles and could become quieter with higher oil viscosity. There are numerous posts, soundfiles and videoclips about this ticking and its reasons.
(2) Ticking occuring after start of a cold engine, when the car was not used for some days. Principly this ticking is related to all engines with hydraulic lifters and is caused by a necessary drain of oil included in the lifters of the valves open during the time the engine was stopped. This effect is described in detail in

The ticking is absolutely normal and should disappear after a short period of time just by driving.
To fill the lifters by revving at 3000 rpm, when the car is standing (like in the videoclip with the BMW), is a little bit silly : you waste gasoline and generate a useless enviromental pollution.
(3) Other Ticks : ticking of SPYDERJAILA's car matches neither (1) nor (2) : It is not audible at idle speed and it does not disappear with a warmed up engine. Moreover it has another frequency than the
idle speed ticking (1). We have to wait and see what happens with his car.
If you post a soundfile of your car I could analyze incidence and frequency of the ticking.

Original poster and commentators,
Is this the noise you are talking about?

Here's a couple of audio clips of mine. It ticks at idle and then stops around 1100rpm and then starts ticking again louder at 1900 rpm.

I sent the sound clips to Porsche Orlando and this is what they said
"I just had our Master tech listen and he told me the direct injectors can make that noise especially when the vehicle has not warmed up. Its nothing to worry about all normal."

Mine still ticks like a ****, but it is not as prevalent warmed up. I especially notice this coming home after a drive versus when I leave.

Meanwhile I'm more bothered about these b***s*** statements than about the ticking itself.

Mine did it with the stock exhaust and with the Kline exhaust.
