Hi,
I also have a slow clock but I have learned to live with it.

In elementary physics theory doesn't time slow down when you go faster?

Porsche has just informed me that there is now a fix. I will let you know when I take the car in next time. I would really rather have them make larger sun visors and solve the right seat viberation, but one can purchase a watch for less than 10.00 which keeps perfect time.

Do you have a TSB # for the fix?

Thanks

I took my car in to get a flat fixed. When I mentioned that the clock was slow, he said that there was a TSB on it and it was a software fix. I haven't picked up the car yet but I'll let you know if it fixed it.

Hi,
There is no TSB for the clock yet.

My car was serviced 2 weeks ago, mentioned this problem, they call PNA and was told to change the PCM. Problem persists. Will talk to them again soon. Seattle. They did fix an annoying dash rattle though.

Got it back. Didn't get to talk to the service advisor but the worksheet stated that it was checked and found nothing wrong - in other words, nothing was done.

how did they determine that the clock was not slow. mine loses a few min each month. were they expecting the clock to be "off" during the time it was in their garage?
