Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Folks I am new to the world of Porsche (’09 Boxster, drive-by-wire gas pedal) Have noticed that as I accelerate and reach 2900-3100 RPM there is a momentary power surge that goes for a split second. There is no pattern, sometimes it happens often sometimes it does not happen at all Before I go to the dealer and look like a fool after the service adviser test drives my Boxster and says “I did not notice anything” Did someone experience/heard about this? Any suggestion is appreciated. DM

I agree, a surge like that is not seen in earlier generation cars. If you have a new car, use that warranty for all its worth. A dealer should take care of you. I suspect that they will say that is how the DFI cars behave, but you have the right to have them explain the performance properties of your new car, enjoy, Ed
