Hello everyone new to forum and new to Porsche… I own a 2000 996 6 speed coupe and every so often when I start the car it makes a loud noise like if the starter is getting stuck… has anyone had this problem … is it the starter???

Any feedback is greatly appreciated thank you in advance for your attention

If you are sure it is coming from the starter and the drive belt then it could be the starter or the starter solenoid. If the noise continues after the car is running turn it off and do not drive it until it is repaired. Driving with the noise could damage the flywheel (very expensive) and clutch.

Thank you for the reply it only comes on for a split second and it only does it 3 out of ten starts...

is this a common thing with this year Porsche?

How much do you think it would cost?

I had a similar experience with my '01 Boxster - see http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=321

The dealer replaced the started under warranty and the problem decreased, but didn't completely stop. My alternator crapped out after the car was under warranty and I had it replaced, and no more intermittent starting noises. I never figured out what combination of starter, alternator and belt on/off sequences finally solved the problem, but haven't heard the noise in almost 2 years
