@ Cautery Do you also have the problem that the display is very reflective and therefore difficult to read?

Cautery

That’s what I was thinking! I took a picture under the front suspension:





@Mechanic

PASM have just Normal and Sport settings, same as I had on my Targa. Will keep you updated about this matter.

@Wiener

From driver’s side, I have no reflection problem from the PCM display. I will ask my gf to check it out.


Today I took the car to install the transparent ppf on the piano black all around the nubbin and it’s perfect now.

Also my man fixed the 3rd rear brake light!! 😍

Those are 100% shipping pucks (the orange inserts) that should have been taken out during Pre-delivery inspection (PDI). Basically, the dealership didn't do their job correctly before delivering the car to you
That's why your suspension is riding hard.

I know them because I've browsed various VAG forums for a long while and it's a common cause for "my suspension feels really harsh" after getting a new car. It's common practice among all manufacturers to prevent suspension travel during shipment - prevents the car moving around as much.

OMG what a bunch of incompetents ��

Please can you make some pics of it

How sloppy. What are the safety implications of driving with these on the road? Any potential damage to the suspension setup? Failure to correctly PDI? Insurance invalidation? The list goes on and on...

Honestly - at least in the short term not much. They're just polyurethane, and assuming you drove it for awhile with them on they may just mush up in the suspension - the likelihood that they'd actually break something (other than your back because it's so harsh ) is small.

It's usually just on the front (though sometimes back too), and can be noticed by either looking in your suspension coils, or just eyeballing the fender gap between the fender / tire in the front (OP's did look a little high in pictures).

Ah! We have our answer: shipping pucks left in place. This used to be so common a mistake that it's a wonder it could occur with a new 992.

Cautery: jfi, the removal of suspension pucks is one of the items documented in this YouTube post concerning the delivery of the first 992 in Sweden: . I agree with "iliveoncaffiene" that the likelihood of damage to the strut is virtually nil.

They will simply tell him that is 'normal' behavior and give him a bill.

Cautery

I’ll let it completely dry and take some pics tomorrow!

What did you get done on the brake light??

Noah Fect

Beautiful car, but everything about that interior just screams "Wait for 992.2."

The Porsche execs and design leads clearly aren't eating their own dog food. And it's not like the auto 'journalists' and video bloggers will call them out for it.

What do you suppose will change in the next update?
