So my 2013 991 c2 had told me it needed an oil change on the second day of ownership (Jan 13' build). Then it told me it needed an oil change around 225 miles in, aka two days later. I took it in and they replaced an engine fan, which had seized up and was sending all sorts of faults into the pcm. Now about a month later the issue has returned. Every time the car is started, the pcm states interm service needed. A quick run through the system says oil change needed. Back to the dealer. Dealer hooked it up to PWIWS or whatever the acronym is for their computer and sent the data into Porsche. Porsche immediately responded and said they have reports of other cars with the same issue and are working out the kinks. Until then my car has been returned as it is supposedly purely a computer glitch.

Anyone else have this going on? No big deal really, just annoying as my last car was a total lemon (bmw) and I am starting to feel unlucky. That is until I hit the LC at a country stop light today to the amusement of the lone car behind me whom must have either A) thought I was a dick or B) thought what a sweet car, most likely both in that order.

my PCM tells me that every trip after noon occurs in "AM"...

No PCM errors on my 2012

My PCM told me I had a phone call the other day. I was like whiskey tango foxtrot? I ain't got no friends. I took it to the dealership the next day and they told me to f'off and that I should have bought a BMW. Whatevs. Anyone else have this problem? PCM communicates info on oil now? I didn't know that. Cool. Thanks!

The previous week PCM told me I was a dick. I agreed. System works perfectly. Oh sh@#. Am I in the Danger Zone again?

I'm in New York and mine thinks I'm in Central Standard time on the clock.

Easy fix. Settings then time then time zone.

No, when I put in EST, it is an hour off. I have to set it to the next time zone for the clock to be correct.

I had this problem a month ago. My solution was to drive toward the sun as top speed and at the last minute pull away for a slingshot effect. Braking was not easy. Try that.

Standard or Daylight time checked?

Mine's been in 3x in the last month, while they try to figure out a computer issue... After the 10k service, the computer wouldn't reset, so it says service is due every day... 2nd time in they replaced the computer, same outcome, going back in this week for some PNA suggested fixes...
