Problems with new 987. Help!!

Well, from what you said the engine didn't go bad it was the computer that adjusted the timing for the engine. In essence it was a fantastic new motor until the computer changed up the timing so poorly that it ruined the motor.

You have a NEW car, NEW motor, and a ****************ty (can I say that?) loaner car. The Golf is a far cry from a Porsche, I mean they could have helped you out with at least a R32 GTI.

Just been told that it is the camshaft that needs to be replaced. Apparently engine block is fine. Have to wait for part to arrive from Germany. Could take another week. Contacted customer services in Germany and they are looking into it. Should I not ask for the warranty to be extended? Have heard of a few cases were this happened and that is a potential option.

My friend's C6 Corvette had an oil pump failure at 6000 miles. GM would only replace the cam and cam bearings, saying the engine looked fine. We saw the engine and there was definitely more than just 6000 miles worth of wear on it.

My friend had to fight GM pretty hard. In the end, they still refused to give him a new motor, but they did give him a 100,000 mile extended warranty and pay for one month of his car payment.

I'd say they owe you something, especially if they're just going to replace a cam. That's not right.

MMmmmm.. that's kinda messed up. I would be happy with the new motor, which sounds like your not getting. You should definitely ask for a free extended warranty as eslai posted below.

You won't get unless you ask!

Good luck

definitely ask.
you had options and went with Porsche. Now you've got to devote your own time to fixing problems created by the big profitable Porsche company. Fixing your car is not enough if they want to keep the public's trust in the reliability level Porsche has achieved.

I'd ask for Porsche drving school comp.

I'd ask too. Most everything is negotiable.
