I have a couple of V200s starting at 11/30/22 (Actual) and 1/22/21 (actual) (weird, go figure). When discussing with PCNA, they suggested to me its the commission number that best represents the sequence of orders. My commission number is E39316. I have an Atlanta PEC pickup date of 8/5/21. I am assuming all these numbers are “funny” until I see actual progress

My Commission Number is E74973, 2021 Spyder that went V200 on 4/23/21 and they are showing expected dealer inventory on 9/10/21!

Susan - my car entered Jville port 3/09. Our cars were likely on the same boat

Any ideas on how far along we are now on the first 25 cars? I think I have seen only 2 owners post that their replacement has started.

This is the reason I didn't want an engine repaired at the dealer.

I’m confused. Are you not just getting a full engine replacement? Why are you saying “con rods arrived” ?

Because we (Belgium, Europe) get a engine replacement when driven, but conrod replacement on undelivered cars. Waiting for bolts… (4 weeks)

That's embarrassing for Porsche. I hope they get their act together for everyone's sake. So they shipped an incomplete repair kit by the sounds of it.

So far, is it just North Americans that have been formally offered a new engine? Seems like it, which also makes you wonder why it takes 5 months to make 250-280 engines.

I received the same message from my (US Based) dealer letting me know that my engine swap will now take place at the Houston port and will be delivered to the dealer after the swap. No real idea of the time for my specific car.

I’m fine with a port swap because they should be doing a bunch of these and mine is later in the line so the crew doing the work should have a lot of experience with the job. At my dealership, I have the only impacted car so it would be a one-time job for them.

I’m so tired of going to car events in my Jeep and want a fun summer car to drive! I’m tempted to buy something as a bridge but used car prices are also out of control. Nothing to do but complain

We picked up a used Audi TTS to get us through this summer, a bit of a let down after owning an '18 Boxster** but it is a 2 seat roadster and were enjoying it non the less. We're telling ourselves it'll make our new BGTS seem that much better when we finally get it! LOL!
** our '18 Boxster was traded in last fall against the BGTS.

  • For vehicles currently at dealer waiting on engines for initial delivery, parts will auto-allocate to that dealer’s location as soon as they are available.
  • For vehicles currently at port, engine replacements will be completed there, as capacity allows, following the same prioritization.
Does anyone know what the KF status is?
The allocation slot changes to what is known as KF Status in our system, or Customer Order Vehicle in German. The order is sent to Porsche in Germany where they begin the production process.Jan 16, 2021

Question Replacement schedule

Originally Posted by UncleDude

I also know of another fellow in Montreal with a replacement engine coming in the end of July.

One fellow has is new engine installed (he was 1 of 2 Canadians driving I think), and he said it seems fine.

Once we have a few more data points we'll be able to see if there's a correlation between delivery times and order dates etc.

Has the US issued any schedule?
I am in Montreal waiting for an engine replacement, my SA told me that they have 3 customers with engine replacement in their dealership (i'm one of them). There are 3 dealerships in the Montreal area and 1 in Quebec city.
I spoke with my SA last week and he told me that he didn't receive any schedule for engine replacement but told me also that they received some rods for repair. If there is a replacement schedule for engines, how come my SA doesn't know nothing about it for now?

Because "SA" stands for Sales Associate and you should be talking to your Service Manager...
