JAM60 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hi Everyone, I have a second fault with my car (2005 3.2s tip) If you drive at a steady 2000rpm the car begins to surge and the rev counter will rise/fall by around 250rpm inline with the surging. Anyone any ideas? I suspect a fuelling issue? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 I think that they all do it. I heave heard it from other and mine does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have came across discussions (I think a US forum) about it but there were no answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bally4563 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 One I have never heard of ? More aligned in my opinion to a vacumn leak somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAM60 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 3 weeks ownership = 3 Problems.1 - Intermittent when pulling away from junctions it feels as if a limiter is kicking in and won't go over 10mph! You have to press/depress the throttle a few times before it accelerates.2- When driving easy at 2000 rpm it begins to surge and the rev counter goes up/down by around 250rpm.3- When stationary and rev car to say 2000rpm the car vibrates almost suggesting its off a pot but sounds as if its running on all six Tried disconnecting the MAF sensor and giving it a run today.............All faults still present , however I thought the engine management light would come on? It didn't. Quickly becoming disillusioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravestarr Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 As difficult and infuriating as this might be proving for you have you taken the car to a Porsche specialist? I suspect that they will get to the root of these problems (and probably give you a list of forthcoming issues). Internet car problem diagnosis is about as reliable as internet medical diagnosis.

bally4563 Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Someone had similar issues on here and after exhaustive tests time and expense, it was due to the temperature probe, a very cheap fix in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within the first 3 months of ownership I have spent just over £4K on repairs (rebuilt suspension, 6 pack, rear brakes and disks, service, gear oil, brakes fluid, and some other small things) but it was worth it. Regardless of the car I drove I have never enjoyed driving, that is until now. Sort it and enjoy the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubzilla Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hi not good news, sounds like your car is hunting and is usually a sign the Tiptronic box is on its way out. I found this out myself with a 986 S Tiptronic. You probably have no warning lights either as this is basically the gearbox slipping. You can drain a small amount of oil from the box and if it is black and smelling burnt you are in trouble. I changed the oil in mine which was found black and burnt, and replaced with new oil and this made the gearbox worse and i had to bite the bullet and bought a used one and swapped it out. If you google Tiptronic and hunting you will find some info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I’d suggest swapping the temp probe before the tip box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubzilla Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Give Nine Excellence a call in Crawley. I looked at a 05 3.2S with 62k miles and a Tiptronic box and it was displaying similar issues as yours and had been diagnosed as a gearbox fault by them.

Wil65 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi , this sounds a bit like my Discovery 3 auto , known as gearbox shudder; occured mainly under acceleration uphill. A common fault with the torque converter / auto gearbox. A recommended fix albeit a temporary one ( well 20k miles so far) was to add Dr Tranny lube ( yes really !) to the geabox oil. Did this in Jan. and the problem went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bally4563 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 My bad didn’t notice it was a tip, but I meant air temp sensor which gave a chap on here very erratic running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Menoporsche Might be a silly question. How do I introduce it to the box? Wheeler Dealer (Ch. 5) tonight showed a Tiptronic with a sleeping problem that was solved by oil change. The program showed a 986S and this also was a bit of procedure so as I don't have the space and tools will have to go to the garage. I will buy a tube and do it. Thanks. Bally4563 Thanks for clarifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Freeman I have no idea, just googled the product once safely at home. Was amazed there were no witty reviews, at least the ones I scrolled through! Not sure where to put it, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil65 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 When I added the Dr Tranny lube; took the discovery to my local garage and they put it up on the ramp. Opened up where gearbox oil is added, added the lube into the same place. That’s it! Drove home , no more surging, job done. I may add that this is regarded as a fix not a cure. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
