So you lost the car for two days, made two trips to dealership and it came out still broken? Now face weeks with a broken car as parts on back order? You also mentioned that others have had the same issue just outside warranty and Porsche have refused to assist. Doesn't sound like great service to me

If you don’t have warranty no manufacture is legally obliged to repair or replace FOC. why should Porsche be any different. Regarding parts on back order try Mercedes or BMW or others they’re all the same struggling to source spares and even parts for new cars.

@@askiff1415 becaise the parts aren't fit for purpose, same issue with the 981 and 911 models. The part short circuits, about a £1k fix per side, when 1 goes l, the other follows. It's part of the sport chrono 'upgrade'. Porsche exhausts also seize up, PDKs aren't fixed, they want a £15-20k for a new trans.

My 981 Gt4 has same issue to be honest it makes no difference I’ve ever noticed and been driving it like it for 8 months. Non sport chrono have standard mounts which are nearer £300 each which I would swap over to if I could find someone to code the light out. Just spending £1250 on one mount which have been known to last as little as 2 months I just can’t bring myself to do.

Amazing that shit loads of Porsche owners have had this exact thing happen and Porsche are still fitting the same part!! A component that fails regularly at such low mileages should definitely be investigated by the manufacturer but it very much sounds Porsche can’t be arsed!!

Hi Andrew. It’s a shame that your Porsche has a problem but at least it’s easy fixable and most cars seem to have a fault in there early days. It’s so worth having a warranty and always renew every year to give you peace of mind Beautiful car. The dealerships are on another level superb. Let us know when it’s fixed. Can I ask a question please When the mk5 R32 was new what tyres did VW put on back then and what tyres would you recommend. Great episode thank you Vdub

I find it odd that you are so praiseworthy of the service when you have wasted time and money going to Porsche Solihull when they quite obviously could have told you those parts were not available to order but chose not to. And you don’t have any indication of a timescale. I understand you got some nice KZbin content and as your are a car aficionado, you enjoy spending time in places like that regardless but for Joe blogs, I’d say that was poor service.

Yeah it does no harm. If I remember right it essentially locks the transmission mounts into the sportier of the two modes when it fails. Spenny to fix though at 1300 per side and a reason I do run the extended warranty on my 981. It is nice peace of mind albeit then having to stick to Porsche’s tight rules.

@volkswizard 11 ай бұрын

That's very naughty of Porsche to try and pin it on track use, especially on a GT3. There's a recall on 718 GT4 to supply a supplement on owner's manual that tells you what to do if driving on track, so it'd be a very short discussion. To be fair to Porsche Solihull, they have said track use is irrelavent, it's just a bad component.

Good move in getting that extended warranty. What a lot of people who are thinking of buying a Porsche don’t necessarily factor in is just how much it costs to service these cars, especially when something goes wrong (and it most probably will). You need to budget for it. Also, f companies like Porsche still blaming covid for extended wait times for parts if indeed that is what they tried to pull with you. I know for a fact that’s a blatant lie and nothing short of gaslighting at this point. We pay through the nose for this hobby and we shouldn’t have to put up with this shite

@volkswizard 11 ай бұрын

COVID was just my guess at the reason for delay, ongoing Ukraine war would have been a better guess but still a guess. £690 for extended warranty is a no brainer although there would have been a time when you'd have expected a nearly new VW Group car to not go wrong at all for many years.
