Sure will send you the vin via PM. Would love to hear about the buy back and reasons as well.

Quick update, car still at the dealer waiting on parts. "On a boat, somewhere."

In the mean time, I picked up the Soul OAPs which the dealer said they would install for free, so that's a nice customer service consideration.

So far its been almost 7 weeks without the car...

Thanks for continuing to update.

And sorry, that is painful. Hopefully you get back on the road soon.

FYI I think this is a bit of a red herring, the dealer should have had PCNA PDX (Parts Delivery eXpedited) the parts from Germany ... (i.e they are air freighted over in a couple of days)

Update! Car finally done after 2 months and 2 days of waiting. Had a nice drive home and the new Soul OAPs sound great!

And then after I get home, need to do a quick grocery run....




arrrrggghhhhhh!!!

Had another flat bed tow truck pick up the car again and drop off a new loaner.

I can’t wait to hear what’s next.

Good-Luck with the on going Pain in the *** repairs.
I'd be upset just like you are.
At some point though they will figure out what the Hell is going on.
Unfortunately the owner has to put up with the inconvenience and also not having their car.

Hang-tough,

With so much time in service, if you wanted out of the car you should be able to lemon it. Porsche may compensate you to keep you in it if you're attached and have faith they can get it right.

I would certainly be looking into this as an option...

Call Porsche customer service and ask for compensation. My 992 was delivered with a bad windshield and they sent $2K for my troubles.

Did you have the Soul OAP's installed? Could be your O2 sensors. I get similar with JCR Headers and OAP's, something to do with the O2 sensors and Cat performance. I've had it checked a few times but also tracked it fine, not all the time but now I just pull codes and reset the system every once in a while.

Sounds like it was happening both before and after OAP install. Could certainly be two separate issues, but seems unlikely.
