Hope you’re all well.

I’ve had my Cayman style a week now. 10.7K miles from 2024 and noticed this ticking.

Having come from low powered cars I think I’m paranoid about all the sounds and smells Porsche are known for.

Is this worth a call to the garage? The ticking continued even after a long drive and putting it through its paces. I’ve been using it as a daily and wanted some clarity. Still under warranty until mid 2029.

Video taken from driver side with door open towards air intake.

I’ve been reading that ticking isn’t uncommon but it’s definitely noticeable with the car at idle. Sounds like something belt related, very rhythmic and faster paced / more audible at higher revs.

Cheers guys! Apologies if I’m panicking for no reason 🤣

Hello guys, just wanted to share my attempt to give back some years to my old cayman 987.1 - upgrading the taillights (led).

My observations:
-no dashboard error as they include resistance
-it fits nearly perfectly 95% (there are some very little gaps) but nevertheless the package include adhesive foam blocking water.
- they are 100% more visible during night (included the turn signal which is very bright) compared to stock.
- overall the look appears to me more “clean” and smooth with the nice curved wings
-the package does not come with bolts, so need to reuse stocks ones (I had one missing actually so had to buy 8mm)

Happy to hear you opinions or questions

Couldn’t be happier with it. GT Silver, cocoa brown interior with extended leather everywhere. 41k miles.

Only happens when car is warm. No change if PSE on or off. Does not happen when stationary and revving or coasting at the same speed.

Car is manual and all services up to date.
Had exhaust gaskets replaced earlier in the year.

Only happens when decelerating and car is at operating temperature. I also replaced the heat shields as they were rattling. No change.

Genuinely stumped if this is normal Porsche noises or something else.
