Sounds OK to me. I occasionally get the 'smoke' at startup which should burn off/clear in a few seconds. Its quite random in nature and havent really found the cause of it.....
A theory of mine is if you park up after a drive and pretty much turn engine straight off, I seem to get it then. If you leave ticking ova for a minute or two (should anyway with Turbo) seems to hardly ever happen. Porsche incidentally say this is perfectly normal. My Box S used to do it too. If the smoke continues 'minutes' into startup, then a different 'issue' exists............
I think Fatboy is on to something. Since I have been following his advice with a engine "cool-down", I have had no smoky starts. Now I do a one minute idle before pulling into the Batcave.
Thanks for the suggestion, for me it seems to work.

Recently my 04' 996TT has occational smoking a on startup, usaully after it hasn't be driven for a couple days. Oil consumption is about a quart every
1200 miles, which doesn't seem out of spec. to me. She's running very solid, and has 9200 miles on her. Any reason to be alarmed??

What model and year of car?
The previous owner could have changed the instrument cluster and not updated the mileage. In most states in the US that unlawful - unless they provide a document at the time of sale explaining the discrepancy.
A dealer or shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester should be able to verify information in the car's DME.
Great thread,
I just had the same question for my dealer yeaterday. I recently purchased a 996TT with 5k miles. I had Rusnak Porsche out here go through the car. I ask them to check the
instrument cluster. They said everything was OK, and that the only source of milage data was stored in the instrument cluster, but I find that hard to believe.
What is the PST2 or the PIWIS, I would like to confirm the milage on cluster with the cars main computer, is that possible?
Thanks

I am doing a clutch job on my 04' 994tt tomorrow. My stock clutch is slipping since I upgraded the HP. My question is this, I've got 9K on the car. Should I change-out the clutch slave cyclinder and acumulator since I'll have the transmission out?? I'll be installing ths Sachs LWFW.
Thanks Tom
