You should claim that under warranty. I have hundreds of Sebring laps with "Gasolina" on repeat cranked to 11; there's never any skipping.

I have a related problem, I need to adjust my tyre pressure but am afraid to use non OEM air; should I use a network dealer for this or do I need to buy from Germany direct?

I would hope that we are not encouraging new members to be shy about asking questions out of fear of being ridiculed by the so-called experts. It only takes a minute or two to politely answer what some of you would consider a "stupid question."

Listen, Jeff, take it from one who has been burned......DON'T USE NON-PORSCHE air in your tyres, Dude. I did once and compounded the error by using a non-OEM valve cap! Can you imagine?

Oh, the horror......the horror.

Will non Porsche air in my tires void my warranty?

Will it give me more horsepower?
I'm thinking it might, but only with the sport button on and the wing extended manually.

My service adviser stated that there is a loose nut behind my steering wheel. Has anyone experience this?

Regular air is OK to use, but only if you rotate the air in the tires every 5,000 miles.

On the air question: Don't use the aftermarket German stuff to fill the tires - it's that same crap they used in the Hindenburg. Yeah, it saves some weight but doesn't handle a puncture at speed well.

American air purchased someplace outside of the smog of the big cities would be best, I'd think.
