resigner said:So, I don't go over 3000 rpm until it's warmed up, and keep the oil topped up (uses some, not much, perfectly normal!) but this thread begs the question, what else should I be/not be doing?
Anyone who says avoid this generation of 997 is an idiot in my book. Incredible cars, tiny percentage will have a problem, and as far as value for money goes they are just stupendous.
Are 3.6's really much better than 3.8's? Far far fewer 3.6s out there, so not sure its a fair comparison.......?
Oh, 2007 C2S manual cabrio in case you're wondering. Work from home, doesn't get driven in traffic much at all, and quite often I will go further than I need to so as to warm the car properly, rather than doing the quick trip to Tesco......
Great your staying under 3k rpm until warmed up, are you running on millers nano 10w50 , the other thing discussed a lot is to fit a LTT which I did , Change the oil every 10k or yearly whichever is first. if its a tip then try to get into the habit of switching from the default 2rd to 1st on the wheel before pulling away. I used to drive mine in manual mode all the time that allowed me to be in the right gear eg 1st to pull away but also going up through the gears you have more control in manual mode as its designed with Eco in mind and will shoot up through the gears as quick as it can which is great for the environment but not so much fun when your driving around the town etc. lol.
