I don't think there is anything about battery voltage. If you have a battery drain, here are the instructions on how to measure the drain: http://www.richard-hamilton.co.uk/misc/porsche/981_CCC.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygo Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I spoke to Porsche on Friday and they are putting a new battery on the car. I'm not sure if it's because they agree with my position re the voltage etc or if they have just decided to swap it to shut me up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it is hopefully a win for you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Yesterday discovered brake hold works on mine when on the flat (give a little stamp on the brake) and also coast can indeed be engaged by pulling back both paddles (select a gear to disengage coast).

moospeed Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 I think stop/start and coast (981) must suit my usual driving style. Due to this thread I’ve been paying more attention to it driving the past few days and I literally can’t fault it. Both work perfectly all the time and without me doing anything other than just not having Sport activated. I just drive and it works. As mentioned, the only improvement it could have is the stop feature coming on like on the 718 when it seems to know when you’re approaching a stationary car in traffic and kills the engine as it approaches. Porsche witchcraft… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s otherwise known as yobbish PSE blip mode, I’ve been known to pop it into neutral for a quick unsociable blat in underground car parks and tunnels.

It's a 718 so yes it should work on the flat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
