peterg1965 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Picked it up yesterday morning, awesome, incredible and I just love it ? only niggles are a creaking front door hinge - is white lithium grease ok for this? And a few creaks and squeaks which I guess might be the seats, but probably to be expected in a Roadster. i leave for work at 0530, wife tells me there were a few comments when she spoke to the neighbours about the start up noise, I didn’t even have PSE on!

topradio Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 We're going to need pictures. They are quite noisy on start up for the first 30 seconds or so, I think that the PSE effectively defaults to on until the valves are closed by engine vacuum. I start mine in the garage and only drive it out once the noise has settled down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowbos Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Great stuff ? Enjoy your new toy and let’s see some pictures for context! My PSE definitely kicks in on startup and then settles down unless I hit the button (which I always do!). Lithium grease should be fine for the door hinges I think. It depends where the other creaks are coming from - more clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Think PSE works by vacuum. No gases, no vacuum. Looks awesome. Hope the wheels last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffy3074 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Looks lovely, my door hinge creaked as well, I used some Porsche spray that I think is a wurth version of WD40 and it did the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Sod the neighbours ! most of mine have poorly serviced diesels. At least mine sounds good, and probably just as loud as them. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorsh Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Congratulations! Your car looks fantastic - I second the warning to look after the wheels, they look great but are a lot of work to clean and need protecting, plus if you hit a kerb (as most of us do eventually ☹️) they can I believe only be repaired once. I think I've see posts somewhere about someone who puts a spare set of wheels on in winter to keep them away from salt (a good excuse to get some winter tyres). Enjoy your new car.
