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.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

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.

Suggestion
Another individual told me that it made no sense to baby the engine as they run the engines reasonably hard at the factory before the cars ever leave.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

I just ordered my Cayman S, but I was wondering about the break-in period. I believe that someone said that for the first 1,000 miles you should keep the rpms under 4200 (or something like that), not maintain the same speed, for long periods of time, and not brake too hard. Is that really true? I previously owned a 1985 944 and a 1989 944S2. Back then, a very knowledgeable service advisor told me that if he got a new Porsche, the first thing that he would do would do would be to go out and repetitively make high speed very hard stops as that would help in bedding (?) the brakes. Another individual told me that it made no sense to baby the engine as they run the engines reasonably hard at the factory before the cars ever leave. In addition, Porsche engines are built for speed. He even said that he had picked up Porsches and drove them at high speeds on the highway as soon as he received the car.I will follow what my dealer says when I get the car, but I am curious about what you think. Thanks. Doobydarby (Lab/retriever mix)

POST 2Original post

You're gonna be told to search, I'll bet You'll find as many opinions on this as there are people on this forum, well, maybe not THAT many. I'm taking it easy, trying to vary my rpms, trying not to go much over 4K, but then there'll be people that say you have to drive it hard to get the most performance out of it later. Look at the opinions, see what makes sense to you, and then drive!

POST 3Original post

Yup, this is definitely one of our most discussed topics, and therefore there are pages and pages of information to read if you do a search. Try starting here: http://www.planet-9.com/search.php?searchid=150404

POST 4Original post

Search is a good suggestion but the best is to download the manual from this site and read what Porsche recommends. If you decide not to follow the advice of the people that made the car make sure you understand why. (You will get a lot of advice that sounds like "I knew an old German guy and he said...." )

POST 5Original post

Thanks for the search suggestion. The link is great. There sure are a great deal of very differing suggestions as to how to drive during the break-in period. Doobydarby

POST 6Original post

Except for the part about the Foglight bulb types!!!!!!!!! We need an FAQ for Manual errors. (I hope there isn't one already, or I'm about to get flogged )

POST 7Original post

That is the only one that has been reported however there are some ommissons - see: http://www.planet-9.com/showthread.php?t=6951
