Does your 997's clock keep correct time
 
Help.....My 997 clock doesnt keep correct time...It takes awhile, but eventually it gets to be 10 minutes behind (slow)...
Now I put it 10 minutes fast... to trick it.... LOL awaiting results :D
Please help me and advise if your clock keeps good time, or bad time, or what the deal is if any! Thanks :confused: :confused: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Nobody's clock keeps good time. It's a known problem with no cure. Amazing how a $90K "clock" performs so badly...

Two months knock on wood and no adjustments to the clock!

Got the same problem; a niggle that is of minimum bother to me, but hopefully enough people will complain so Porsche will do something to correct the problem (as in recall).

Has anyone had their's fixed already? Just curious if P has addressed the issue but curing on case by case basis.

Mine was accurate for a couple of months and then started loosing time. I never took the time to take it in.

I have a battery maintainer and use the car every several days, the clock still fails behind.
My 2000 Chrysler Concord almost never loses time.

My clock was loosing about a minute a week. After a year of resetting it weekly it now keeps pretty accurate time. It may be that after slapping it around it finally got the message:D

What clock? :D

I had the same problem and took it to Porsche for the recall. They replaced the entire unit and guess what....I still have the same problem. :(

clock problem
 
most of the time it shows wrong. it was not that bad the first days. it bacame worse and worse. it jumps back and forward ie: 13.20 suddenly 13.50. then 13.21 then suddenly 14.20. i contacted to the service and they tald me that they will need an inspection to determine the origin of the problem. (most likely the instrument panel will change, since the clock info is kept there as they informed me). we will see what is gonna happen:p
