Is your clock running slow?

I've noticed my clock is running a couple of minutes behind every month or so, when I look at the clock as NPR announces their time. It just started happening in the last few months. Is anyone else had/having this issue?

Yes. I even had the PCM replaced a while back under warranty and the new one also runs a few minutes slow every month. I think this is a well known issue. Mine is a 997.1 w/o nav.

This is an old issue. Has been reported for many years. The good news is that it is really to reset the clock.

Okay, thanks. I didn't think I was unique in this issue. Just wondering if there is a good fix identified...

Yes. According to the Theory of Relativity the faster you drive time will slow down, so your clock will run slow.

Same problem with my C4 997.1 I asked the dealer when it was new and he admitted it was a problem but that there was no recall and no fix!

It represents delayed aging as a result of having fun driving a 997.
