Garaged my Porsche a month ago and already got a bad flat six withdrawal. I donīt want to subject her to our salty roads but I need to hear her grunt (yes, I am talking about the car).
Cranking her up without driving seems to be a cardinal mistake according to most people. Partly since a few minutes of idle will not get her hot enough to burn away condensation, partly since it seems idling, per se, would be harming the engine. Why is that ? Taxi cars spend a lot of time idling and they all seem to pile up a lot of mileage.
Way I figure, if you only let her idle long enough - say half an hour - it would prevent drying up rubber parts, hoses etc and still get hot enough to evaporate any moisture. Excluding the environmental issues, of course.
Would the battery get charged at the same time, or that needs driving ?
Or is this just blind stupid withdrawal talking nonsense ?
