Is your clock running slow?

I've noticed my clock is running a couple of minutes behind every month or so, when I look at the clock as NPR announces their time. It just started happening in the last few months. Is anyone else had/having this issue?

Yes. I even had the PCM replaced a while back under warranty and the new one also runs a few minutes slow every month. I think this is a well known issue. Mine is a 997.1 w/o nav.

This is an old issue. Has been reported for many years. The good news is that it is really to reset the clock.

Yes. According to the Theory of Relativity the faster you drive time will slow down, so your clock will run slow.

Mine too

Same problem with my C4 997.1 I asked the dealer when it was new and he admitted it was a problem but that there was no recall and no fix!

It represents delayed aging as a result of having fun driving a 997.
