Revving rpm in Neutral on a Tiptronic
On a tiptronic, if the engine is running with no load on neutral...
if you step on the gas, will the engine rev up past 4k rpm?
I tried doing that and it hiccups a sec at 3.5k rpm, then stops at 4k rpm.
It revs fine when in gear though.
Is this normal for tiptronics, or is it related to the white smoke issue I posted in the Cayman S Forum?
Any comments, feedback or advice on the white smoke issue btw?
Thanks!

I was doing a search and came to this thread. Is there any follow up on the above issues?
I've had my first white smoke encounter today. Scared the **** out of me!
I thought I blew the head gasket or the engine!
Strange thing is, engine was smooth as ever, pull was strong, not even a hiccup at any point.
I was with a friend testing the car and was pushing it hard, flooring it now and then whenever the situation allows. Then at one end of the road, we made a hard u-turn and immediately floored it...
That's when we first noticed the huge cloud of smoke in the rear view mirror.
Stepped on the gas and another cloud.
So we took it easy and when we were at my driveway, I opened the engine hood,
no smell of burning oil, engine was idling smooth, exhaust was smooth with no smoke.
Stepped on the gas a second, and a small puff of white smoke shot out of the exhaust pipes.
Other than the smoke, everything seems normal. Oil on dipstick is around max level.
Should I worry about anything, or should I have it checked out?
I just don't want to waste time and money to take the car in for nothing if this is normal.

Cosmo,
Not sure about a 911, but I know a Cayenne won't let you rev past a certain RPM (4k, I think) in neutral... Wouldn't surprise me if it were the same way... Just an educated guess.

I have a tip and it will not let you rev up in neutral. First discovered it when asked to do a throtle blip at a tech inspection...made me feel a little wimpy when they said "come on you can give it more than that" actualy I could not. In M it will hold until red line though.
