Just to show how crazy I am now...I have run out of YouTube Videos, so now I am PDF-ing reviews just to get by...I think they call this addiction, so that makes me a Junkie, I guess...

 

^ amazing LOL

 

You are definitely a junkie, but only in a good way!

Would you be able to share these PDFs with us...perhaps as a ZIP file attached to this thread? I've tried to read every review to deal with the anticipation of getting my '22 CGTS, but it looks like you've found several that I've not come across before.

 

I hope the car will be worth the hype

 

...and the wait!

 

It IS imho.

 

So in Canada we have (in our small group that is regular communication) one engine arrive and the rod repair under way. The rods were late, but so far engines on schedule within a few days of the first estimates given by the dealers. The first date is V300 since it is all we had, and the second is the engine delivery date.

Try this combined PDF Zip File...it is not crazy large...enjoy!

 

This is very good information. I am wondering if these are all vehicles which were delivered prior to Stop-Sale or if they were in dealership/port purgatory or mixed? I have not yet heard of any US cars which were not delivered either at dealer or at the dock which have begun repairs or received any date of repairs.

 

As one of the 200 owners who took delivery prior to the stop order, I’ve been waiting for a new engine. It finally arrived and the installation started three days ago. The service manager called me to say the new engine is in and now they are waiting for an emissions sticker that will be sent from Germany.

I’m happy that the goal line is insight but it’s hard to understand how a small sticker is preventing the car’s return. But it is.

The service manager had no idea how long it will take for the emission sticker to arrive. So I’m asking if anyone has had their car’s turn over delayed and if so, how long was that delay?

 

Am emissions sticker? After all that time, silliness like that borders on incompetence. Someone needs to be given a box and told to go home, don't come back.

 

Has your kid taken over your account? You seem pretty grumpy lately.

The sticker, based on a local guy's experience, didn't take long from Porsche. For whatever reason, the sticker isn't issued until the engines are swapped and operational (perhaps it is proof that the task is complete). I have no idea, and agree it seems dumb to have to wait for it after the work is done. People have also asked to start this process as soon as the engine arrives, and the answer has been no.

 

My sticker took about 4 days to arrive after the work was complete.

 

I hope my situation replicates Dan’s. I got to put 742 miles on my GTS before I got PNA’s letter advising me to stop driving it due to safety risks. So like everyone else caught up in this situation, it’s really painful to have been unable to enjoy these outstanding cars.

I for one know we will all be a lot happier when we get our hands back on our cars.

Hers is a photo of my car’s original motor on the RHS and the replacement engine on the left. The last photo shows the newly installed motor. I’m getting close.

 

Isn't that the sticker that is put on the engine cover ?
Can't they deliver this separately and let you drive with the old one in place ?
