Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I can always get it changed back but wonder whether it can be alleviated to some extent with tyre pressure setting - I'm on 20 inch comfort at 2.1 bar at resting.

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.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

When I bought a used 981 Boxster S '15 plate one of my only regrets was it didn't have power steering plus. I have bad tennis elbow and sometimes low speed maneuvering is painful. I drove a poorly specced demo with the PSS and preferred it at the time. So I recently retrofitted the PSS for £244 at a Porsche dealer who were very helpful but I must say after 100 miles I'm not sure I like it all - or it doesn't do what I thought it would. It is nice and loose at low speed but doesn't seem to tighten up much unless you go >70 mph. For nice bendy B-roads the steering now feels very vague and jellified, no satisfying feedback from the road but still very direct. Has anyone noticed this with the retrofit? It seems different from the factory build I tested? Could it be the tyres were much newer on the PSS demo? I can always get it changed back but wonder whether it can be alleviated to some extent with tyre pressure setting - I'm on 20 inch comfort at 2.1 bar at resting. I'm hoping I get used to it....... Any comments most appreciated!
