Read evidence and context

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 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

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

In reality they probably left it sat running for ages.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just had my Carrera 4 serviced yesterday at Chester - and they did a great job but I noticed prior to service that the MPG figure varied between 26 and almost 28. Today, however, it showing between 22 and 24. I'm not bothered by it but interested to know what has changed? Any thoughts?

POST 2Original post

They drove it properly on the post service test drive In reality they probably left it sat running for ages.

POST 3Original post

It doesn't take much idling to drop the mpg reading. And the car probably idled some. My cars (Boxster and Turbo) get idled around 15 minutes when in for oil/filter service. (I have tracking/data monitoring devices in both cars that let me view this activity - and other things -- online.)

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for that. Courtesy car was a new Boxster S, which sounded and drove really well. Still prefer mine though...
