The TPMS stinks.
I constantly get warnings about low pressure and the pressure is perfect when I check manually.
I'll have them check that when I get the oil changed at 1,000 miles.

common as on a typical 996 911 but it still happens.
I was unaware of this. Thank you.

Please let us know when the TSB is out for the dash fix. My gas guage is not working properly on my GT3RS.
Thanks

TPMS..NFG
Fuel gauge..... NFG
Major oil leak from front crank seal
Major smoke on start up...sometimes
Major oil consumption....4 Qts in 6K miles.

I havent lost a drop of oil in 3000 miles. Consumption or otherwise. I do notice the top half lasts longer than the bottom half.
I need to change my oil now - the new old Mobil 1 15-50W

the gas gauge consumption discrepancy has been around since the early 996's AFAIK...
