Herbie33 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Thanks for the feedback, this is a great community for help and advice, I was starting to think either I bought a duffer or I’m a old duffer (I’m certainly getting there according to my kids!) it seems it’s one of the quirks of the 981s’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie33 Posted October 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hi all so turns out it’s not a quirk, after another visit to the OPC and taking a technician out on a test drive (oh er) Porsche Cambridge have finally agreed there is something wrong, talking to the tech he’s never heard of this issue before on the 981 but had similar on a 987 where there is an issue with the throttle body valve, alternatively it maybe an issue with the vario cam ! anyway a week later they’ve ordered a new throttle body and that’ll be here Thursday, they’ll then see if that’s fixed the issue, if not… Fingers crossed I’m taking the Boxster to Bicester Scramble on Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMA Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Good to hear the update, I guess yours was more than the very subtle "missfire" I mentioned. Keep us updated to progress and what transpires after they change the throttle body, I hope it resolves your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie33 Posted November 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Final update. the throttle body worked! I think the OPC got a bit p*ssed off with me as all I’ve done recently is take it in for warranty work before the warranty expired 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
718as Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Glad to hear it's fixed, why were the p*ssed off, surely they get the money for warranty work from Porsche? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably don't get paid , the outrageous hourly labour rate by Porsche that they charge us punters😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
