Engine noise question 997 C2S Tip

[911F]

Hi All,

My friend has an 05 plate 997 C2S Cab Tip, its making a ticking/clicking sound. Its been serviced in the last 7k miles, and has sufficient oil in it.

Any suggestions on what it might be?

In all seriousness, it depends on the type of ticking. Baz of Hartech did a really informative post on here a while back about ticking/tapping/knocking/clattery noises. Can't find it ATM, but try searching for it. Best bet is to just get it checked out. Most indies and OPCs would probably send a technician out to listen to it free of charge.

Might also be worth looking in YouTube for IMS videos to compare the noise against those.

If it is a light ticking, chances are it's perfectly normal. I have found that Porsches tend to have noisy injectors and depending where you stick your head to listen to it, the noise they make can be quite noticeable. I am no expert though, hence the suggestion to get a technician to have a listen.

If it's a cab, it'll be the thermostat on his curling tongs he can hear
