    Sounds like lifter noise. When was the oil changes last and what weight oil are you using?

    Yes, the engine compartment fan operation did change from 996 to 997-1. From the Porsche Tech book "In stage 2, the engine-compartment blower is activated directly by the Motronic control module via the changer relay and the shutoff relay (power approx. 33W) in dependence of coolant temperature, engine temperature and a ratio between intake and ambient air temperature. Stage 2 is also activated during sporty acceleration when detected by the Motronic control module. Once temperatures fall below the respective temperature parameters, the engine compartment blower is set back to stage 1." "If the engine compartment lid is opened while the engine-compartment blower is active, the shutoff relay deactivates the engine-compartment blower. After the engine is switched off, the engine compartment temperature is monitored for approx. 30 minutes. During this period, and depending on temperature, the engine-compartment blower may continue to run or start to run. If no reduction of temperature is detected after 5 minutes of the engine compartment blower running in stage 2, the temperature warning light of the coolant temperature display in the instrument cluster starts flashing. Additionally, a “Failure - engine-compartment blower” warning is displayed in the on-board computer."

    The dealer's description of the engine compartment fan operation is correct for a 997-1. However I believe he is incorrect about the direction. In all other Porsche 911 series cars the engine compartment fan pulls cool air "into" the engine compartment forcing hot air out. This is easily tested by placing a tissue paper on the engine cover when it is on - if it is sucked down to the engine lid then it is pulling cool air in -- if it blows away then it working as an exhaust fan. This is the temperature sensor location on late model 997-1. (click to enlarge)

    I would start by trying a top re-calibration using a Porsche PST2 or PIWIS tester.
