. So when I go to the dealer or whoever I have to have it repaired by what do I tell them that's wrong with it. Your problem sounds like the very same problem I'm having with my Porsche Panamera

My advice to those who are having the same issue is to stop driving your car and get a full dianostic.

I know what this is exactly! Its carbon build up on the back of your valves..... PIck up a bottle of CRC intake valve cleaner... Look for my post on here, it shows you exactly what to do.... I guarantee you it is that.... as well as your Air oil seperator

My 2014 Panamera 4S 3.0 V6 does the same thing. I was told yesterday that it was probably the intake valves having carbon build up on them and suggested that I clean them with CRC valve cleaner.

I have already swapped my intake manifold. The sound was completely gone.
It also got louder when accelerating. I removed the throttle valve and moved all the valves individually by hand. One was loose. 5 mm movement. It's unbelievable that it made such a noise.
