Smoke Bomb-anyone else?

[Homeboy981]

I would submit to you it depends on the size of the cloud at startup.

Used to get a small puff that 'lasted a few seconds' after I started the car in the morning and concluded the following:

When I let the car "idle down" for 30-60 seconds prior to turning the key off the night before, it would smoke the next morning upon startup.

Once I showed a little "tough love" and just turned the key off, not letting it "idle down", it seems to cloud up less, if at all, at startup. Coincidence?

Your actual results may vary.

Thanks homeboy.My cloud was taller and larger than me as for some reason,I had jumped out and was heading to the back of the car and I was engulfed!

I'm open to any ideas to lessen the probability.I'll re-create your episodes and make note.

I called a dealer in a city that is large enough to have have seen this and they confirmed that it can even happen to the brand new cars.--So much for my plan to toss a relatively new, perfectly performing AOS for a brand new one.

I just bought my 987 @ 28K miles. Within a week of owning it, this happened to me. I flipped my **************** and had it towed back to the dealer. They replaced the AOS ($120 part + $580 Porsche Labor haha = $700+tax repair). Thankfully it was covered under warranty. Now that I have come here and read, I see that it is fairly common and harmless. The dealer said it may happen over the next couple weeks, but so far I've seen nothing.

Just my experience... Good luck.
