Reply With QuoteI had a 2001 Boxster S and now have a 2001 Carrera Cab and I have heard the
valve lifter noise during start up, but it hasn't caught my attention at
idle. Seems to me I asked the service advisor at the local dealership and
one of the independent shop owners I know and they both said that at start
up it's pretty normal. I'll turn off the A/C and radio in the next few days
and listen to the idle after the engine is warm.

2000 Boxster Engine Noise
Picked up a used 2000 Boxster a while back. Great car, it has 23K on
it. Only problem is the engine makes a valve lifter ticking noise
when started for about 3 seconds until the oil pressure comes up.
Seems to go away almost completely but you can still here the
occasional tick at idle. Anyone else hear anything like this on
startup? Thought about taking it in but it seems like the only
possible fix would be an engine rebuild?
Thanks,
Chris

Our 2000 sounds about the same - a little noise at startup.
Haven't noticed anything at idle.
The main problem with these - even after they fixed problems
with earlier 2.5L '97-'99 engines - is oil leaks. Make sure
you don't have any: ours had a hose fitting, and a rear main
seal repaired under warranty, no problems since.
