I just saw the story of the “misch on the highway”, i.e. the 11s, which just turns and then hits the guardrail. So far I only moved my newly acquired 997 on Black Forest roads; there it is good but the view to find the expensive fun car in the undergrowth also makes careful. The question would be now, how does it behave on curly BAB, e.g. A7 Kasseler Berge or Sauerlandline A45? What is your experience here? Does it have advantages over M 3, S4 or other combat boxes? Are there measured values (in g) for lateral acceleration on dry road?

Hi Community, for some time now – as a passive member – I read your mostly very informative posts and hope for a little help with the configuration of my 911er. It will be my first Porsche and I don’t want to be delivered as an absolute novice to a salesman at the Porsche Center. The 997 Carrera S with PDK is in the eye. In detail it would be nice if you could share your experiences with me on these questions: Is it right that only the I am not interested in the electrical adjustment possibilities including the memory function. On the part of the interior, I have considered the leather equipment in grey natural leather. Is this colour as insensitive as black in the long term? How well can it be telephoned with the hands-free system? Is the purchase of the cordless hands-free hands-on device possibly even obligatory? I am No friend of multifunction steering wheels. Can PCM and telephone be operated without any problems while driving? I would also like to have your assessment of the topic PASM sports suspension. Is this a must? Thank you in advance, Achim

In Carrera 4 the four-wheel drive can be switched off: Quotation: Our colleagues […] have also returned a wet trick to them by Porsche engineers — a sort of hidden feature of this new PDK transmission. By pulling up on the hand brake just one notch it’s not the parking brake that comes on but what this Porsche actually does is disengage the front axle. Thereby turning the 997 (with a wink and nod) into a rear-wheel drive doughnut maker. So you only have to use the handbrake a “knabe” Is this a “secret trick” or is something like that in the user manual? Can’t look right now, because I don’t have a 997

Hello, currently have another problem with our Cayenne. During the ride, a bright grinding noise arises. Unfortunately, the camera or video does not record it, as the noise is probably still a bit too quiet. If I give gas it is usually gone, but I think the engine noise just overruns here. If I go down from the gas it is to be heard again. Furthermore, I have set it to “N” during the ride and it is clearly visible in idle mode. At higher speeds higher If you don’t know, it’s a bit less. Logically, it has to do with rolling, how fast and how slow. That’s why I tap on wheel bearings.. can you underline this assumption? Here too, thank you very much.

Hello together ! For about 2 weeks now in the Connect Portal the service “My Porsche” has disappeared: “Portal special destinations”, (there I have installed the radar alarms, which are still present in the car but not updated ! ) all other services like e.g. “Portal destinations” are available. Do not need to mention now that I have already written 2x the operators of the Connect service and each time the lapidare answer…. we take care of…., have received from once in the meantime I had received 2 calls from Tunisia (!), but I did not accept it, because after there I have no contacts, maybe these were the operators of the portal ? Who has advice on the subject, please, thank you lg.Fiffipapa

Hello community, I have a question to the Approved experts. I am planning ahead. Have a Panamera from 2012 with currently 170,000 km and valid Approved. Next year I will extend the Approved with then probably 185,000 km. to the question: Is it possible the year after 2022 (vehicle age 10 years, therefore from the age of the original) with approx. 199,000 km to extend the Appproved for 2 years or then ends with reaching the 200.000 km mark the insurance. Can I then drive in the 2 years n so much I would like to finish 199,000 km on the clock? So that the car has at the end of the 2 years about 250,000 km on the clock and until then is covered by insurance technology?!? Thank you for the info!

Hello and good morning, since the electric Macan seems to be waiting for you and will not be available in mid 2022, I think about a Taycan annual car (RWD/4s/CT4). Can one anticipate today how the prices will develop? At what magnitude will one land (equipment outside)? Can one say that so simply? For example, 100k base with 50k KM = 70k? It is clear to me that my question leads to big blurs in the answer… Thanks for your understanding full feedback, so far I have not given much thought to the loss of value… Merci

Moin Moin, In February next year I am in possession of my 924 from 1982 and I love this car above all else. I have been able to learn a lot about it, through literature, try out or the Internet. But sometimes I also stood in front of the car and could only scratch my head. And now it’s time for me to not know any more. To the problem: you notice now the last two weeks that it will be autumn. Accordingly, it is also much cooler in the morning than during the day. If I now, Just like this morning also, get into my car and the temperatures below, fall about 10°C, does not go in the first 3-5 min the dipped light. I say I leave the engine on, want to go off, turn on the light, lights open, but it remains dark. The main light goes perfectly, the floor light in the auxiliary lights also shines as usual. Rear light is also everything as it should be. When I operate the main light, the dipped light sometimes stays on for a few seconds and g Is there a flicker then? Or it’s half a minute left, I’m going to go and then it’s gone again… Constant with driving light through the city until the engine is lukewarm, I don’t want to, because I hate it myself when someone comes to me with full lighting. Does anyone know this problem? Maybe from another vehicle from that time and how to solve it? The voltage indicator in the interior always shows me something between 12 & 13 V. The car battery Nagel is new, because I replaced it about two months ago. I would be very happy about a helpful post or thought suggestions! A good start to the day, DK

Hello together, Maybe someone knows a similar case here: The Bosxster S, 2 1/2 years old, 28,000 km drove somehow own, a check revealed: clutch, flywheel and other parts must be replaced. After the cause of the wear one did not have to research for long at the PZ: I am too stupid to drive to the car (admittedly, they have formulated it a little more elegantly). Kullanz did not want to grant no accommodation, nothing at all. The first car in my hands, that ever had anything with the clutch, doesn’t matter. That he is standing there like new, doesn’t matter. Question at Porsche came up, so literally: our hands are tied, Porsche did everything right and I have to pay the invoice of 3.500,00 EUR. + brake fluid 150,00, which you should also fill up. The arrogance with which you are served here is already phenomenal. Alone already a Kulanzanf In the PZ, it was quite inappropriate to want rage places. Is there anyone here with similar experiences? Best regards Felix

Hello, I now play with the idea of getting a 991er. From the type I like the GTS and the GT3(RS). But because I can’t agree with my conscience 150k and I don’t necessarily have to drive a new car, I just thought of buying an older model as a base and then “doing” it direction of my dream setup. As a base I imagined the Carrera 996 or 997. Does there basically something against it? Someone has a clue what to do with the conversion. I would be very grateful for comments, experiences.
