Ok , I'm new here. I'm being paranoid so I need some experts to help me with the rough idle question.
I bough a new 2013 991 (PDK) with 34 miles on it. I just noticed that it has a slight rough idle.
here is a link to the video: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0By3...1REMmM5NXU0TEU

I'd like to see if this is normal during the break in period or the engine is faulty (hope not). Any help is appreciated.

 

It is normal, my car also has the same.

 

Same here I suspect it is the ecu learning and will go away in the near future

 

Wheew ok I feel better.
I was assuming that it would be flawless operation.

 

Dont worry, mine does the same.

 

Watched your video. That's considered a rough idle?!?!




Seriously, you're fine mate. Don't worry about it. Enjoy your 991.

Cheers.

 

That rough noise you're hearing s that damn Gotye song....

 

Totally normal,....and as an aside, IMO Porsche engines take a bit of miles to really come alive and smooth out. I would say a good 2~5K on the clock to really start feeling all the ponies and smooth out a bit. So get out and drive!

 

Thanks guys. That put my mind at ease. I will get out and drive!!!

 

That is not rough idling, certainly not. Very normal for a sports car. Enjoy!

 

Hey! I like "Making Mirrors".

 

Must be new to sports cars, I wonder what your reaction will be next to a cold ferrari v12 start up or a cammed american v8 lol

 

Heh yah I had a 350z(not sure if people consider it a sports car here ) before but didn't really notice it. Hopefully it'll smooth itself out.I will take it to the dealer just to confirm
