Rough weekend...

Any advice on what to say/do if Porsche comes back and denies the warranty claim? My warranty expired last Thursday and I guess I'm hoping that the least they would do is cover part of the repair? Any thoughts? Or should I just bite the bullet and fork over the dough freely?

Hi,

Sorry to hear of your troubles. Be sure to vote in the RMS poll so we can have some accuracy.

Good advice from TG2K about the Warranty. Good Luck! But, also think about Clutch/Flywheel while you're in there. The Dealer should cut you some discount on this as the engine/tranny have to be pulled apart anyway and the flywheel removed, could ease the pain a little and end up saving you some $$$ down the road...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Thanks for the heads up on the clutch and flywheel! Any advice on replacement in terms of improvement over OEM? Or is OEM the way to go?

I think on this forum, many times the light weight flywheel has NOT been the recommendation. Just an FYI.

The voting in the RMS poll was closed so I wasn't able to add my vote to it...

I'm still waiting for Porsche to respond whether they will pick up the repair bill or not so my car continues to sit idly in the parking lot of the dealer... I really hope to hear from them this morning.

I'll have them look at the clutch and flywheel when they pull the powertrain apart. If they say the components look like new than I'll leave them alone but if there is the slightest bit of abuse or bad wear I will replace them.

Porsche still hasn't responded to the dealer about helping with the repair bill. The Porsche guy who makes the decision got back from vacation on Monday and evidently is too busy to address this issue.

I'm going to the dealer to pick up my car until Porsche can respond one way or another. They have been gracious enough to charge me $130 for the time it took them to determine that it was a RMS leak (they only charged me 1/2 of the 2 hours they said it took).

Still no word from Porsche... This seems a tad ridiculous that I have had to wait over three weeks and still Porsche has not responded to the dealer in regards to my RMS leak. Unfortunately I don't think there is much I can do except sit back and wait.
