I had a good run through to the west at the weekend, to get some high(ish) speed running in, and it felt pretty much the same.

The car is using very little oil over the 3.5k miles I've put on it, and otherwise runs like a dream.

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.

So - my 2007 Cayman S (25k miles, 18 months of Porsche Warranty remaining) has, in the last few drives, felt - to me, subjectively -
slightly
down on power.
Most noticeable in the lower rev ranges. It's revving quickly and smoothly enough, but (to my "backside dyno") seems to be a little breathless lower down. Most noticeable on familiar 2nd gear bends where I have previously required to be a little careful (in the wet) now being able to be exited in a more ham-fisted / lead-footed manner with nary a wiggle.
I wondered if it was some duff fuel (tank was nearly empty first time I noticed), but a refuel with fresh Tesco 99 feels just the same.
Car is booked into the OPC next Tuesday, and Im not unduly worried (given the warranty). More concerning is the fact that it
feels
different
to me
- but may be difficult to pinpoint why. The car is using very little oil over the 3.5k miles I've put on it, and otherwise runs like a dream.
A service technician will be taking the car out (with me) on Tues. Any advice on things I should be asking them to check (or chacking that they have checked) ?
Cheers...
My Clio 200 (I'm buying a 911 or Boxster next) felt positively sluggish a few weeks ago - I put it down to bad fuel or possibly warmer air (although its certainly cooler now, than it was a few weeks ago).
If it is a bad batch of fuel and the ecu has detected it and knocked the timing back, it will take at least another tank full of 'good' fuel for it to reset.

Interesting.
I had a good run through to the west at the weekend, to get some high(ish) speed running in, and it felt pretty much the same. However - predictably - when I was taking it into the OPC to be checked this morning it felt pretty perky again. Cue a kinda embarrassing test drive by one of their Techs.
They checked it over and could find nothing, bar a splitting coffin arm bush that they are doing nder warranty.
Happy enough if it has 'cured itself' - so long as it doesn't reoccur...

When were the tyres last changed?
Tyres are all well treaded, but were on when I got it, c. 3.5k miles ago.
(Bar one which is annoyingly brand new - got a nail in July)
