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.

Suggestion
Forgot that while I was out in winter checking the maps on the side of the road....immediately some cops stopped (machine guns and all), and told me to shut off or drive off.
Leading evidence: 'Check maps' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check maps' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Both manuals for the cayenne and GT3 say that you should drive the car immediately after start up and do not let it warm up from idle. What's up with this??? Common sense would tell you that it's better to let it warm up a little prior to driving, especially since the idle rpm's are higher. In the past I wait for the rpm's to decrease to the normal idle speed prior to driving it. Is this hurting my babies??? Anyone have any insight on this???
Just what I've read in previous posts.... that it's important to "warm up" all of the drivetrain and suspension parts as well as the motor, and that would indicate moving right after startup. I question that in the winte however, 'cause I'd like the cold oil to thin out a bit before I put any load on the motor.
The warm-up process has been long gone since the quicker heat-up systems due to emission systems in the past decade or so. It you let your car idle, it will pollute the air more. As such, drive it off and keep the revs low until engine is fully warmed.
It is definitely pollution but many say it hurts the car. I, however, cannot see what can happen to the car if left idling.
I suggest that you follow the owners manual instructions and drive the car away.
I've always been told that
prolonged
idling is bad for the engine. One of the bad things about stop and go traffic, Maybe it has something to do with idle rpm being sub-optimum working conditions, like lower oil pressures and what not.
I grew up in a General Motors Exec family...in Mich. It was driven into my head to warm the car up before putting a load on it and let the auto idle for a few minutes before shutting down after driving for any lenth of time. I now believe those issues were tied to oil composition and engine parts. Being the Porsche runs Mobil1 syn and technology is superior, I believe those issues don't apply any longer.
probably because in Germany and many other countries, its illegal to idle the car (even in the garage)....pollution.

Asked that question in Germany of a cousin that works at BMW German and apparently that's an old wives tale. With modern tolerances, fluids and electronics, driving away right away is what the cars are designed to do (at least the German cars).
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
