Hi All,

I have a 991.2 GTS and notice that the tappets are noisy when the car is started and this carry's on for quite a while afterwards.
The dealer says this is normal and all the GTS's sound like this.
Anybody have the same experience or suggestions if this is correct

Cheers Phil

Isn't it a characteristic of DFI engines?

I have a 991.2S and it does the same. Takes a few minutes to go away at idle revs. I try to be very gentle with it until oil is up near the 90C
