I have attached a 16 second clip of new sound. It is coming from the Cylinder Head area on the engine, under the top cowling. Hoping someone on here can advise what they believe it to be. First Porsche ever, love it so far, only had it 3 months.

Thanks everyone. This is a great forum. Here is the link to the video: Clicking Noise Video - 2015 Macan Turbo

Has the sound been there since you bought the car? The direct fuel injectors on modern gasoline engines make a clicking sound, much like you hear on diesel engines.

You can hear the injectors by themselves in the following video as they are being bench tested in a shop. The 30 second mark towards the end is at idle rpm.



This topic comes up periodically. Here are two other threads on the topic:

Strange engine sound....Or at least I think
