W573 SERVICE ACTION-RETROFITTING STUDS FOR THE ENGINE CARRIER WITH CAPS.
W608-REPLACING AIR GRILLES IN FRONT APRON/BUMPER

I think I've seen W573 mentioned on the web before, but W608 was new to me. In this case, I'm told that the front grilles were discoloring or something and so Porsche is replacing them. Interesting!

That service action was PARTLY addressed the last time my car was at Walter's for the vibration thing. They actually didn't say anything to me (par for the course at Walter's). Here's the great kicker though - only a few days after I picked it up from Walter's I took it to Hoehn to have them investigate the vibration. They told me that Walter's PARTLY addressed the service issue but failed to replace one of the caps that incidently had wore through a hose. Did Hoehn replace it? Nope - said it was on back order from Germany - in the meantime, keep driving the car (I'm sure under their breath, also saying and if it blows up or the tires fall off or the engine falls out, blah blah blah, sucker, it's probably nothing!). Sold/traded the car 3 days later!
