A home run!....don't know what more you could ask for. The results of the COG would have absolutely made a difference in my decision to trade my 15 GT3 had it occurred a couple of months ago. Again hats off to the COG team!

Great work, brought to a head and resolved without legal action is a good outcome for all. 
However, I have one question - if the problem was a metallurgical issue that affected a small number of units, why did they redesign a range of components including the cams plus change various coatings?
Ultimately they abandoned the design all together.
There is no question Porsche would have had to deal with this issue at some point. The fact COG stepped up to the plate probably gave Porsche an opportunity to escape with some dignity and at the same time provide certainty to owners - again an excellent outcome.
Over here, under Australian Consumer law Porsche are done and dusted as the product is defective and thus would require remedy through fixing or replacement - irrespective of what is outlined on the Porsche warranty card.
Anyhow, congratulations are the order of the day its far better to settle a dispute through mediation and conciliation than through litigation
"Porsche Rocks" Not so sure about that, it took them years to resolve the issue and they know customers are going elsewhere - Porsche are a steel fist in a velvet glove, they did what they both needed to do and had to do - thats smart business.

LOL @ Porsche rocks.....these are the same people who brought you the rubber centered clutch disc, the exploding CIS air box, the exploding turbo coolant pipes, and of course the IMS bearing and never gave a rats azz about the consumer.
I love the company, I own 9 of the cars as we speak, but let's be realistic here. This is the first time Porsche has come through in a very long time.....

I think my 2014 991 is having the same issue robmypro had way back. Anytime I get above 8000 RPM the engine gets extremely notchy and throws itself into limp mode with a red warning, restarting the car removes the limp mode but the yellow warning remains. 18,000 miles. Having it towed to the dealer this Thursday (Davenport, Iowa Porsche). Crossing my fingers!

I spoke to my local Canadian Dealer and he confirmed that my car has the 10 year engine warranty; this covers approx. 120 or so parts in the engine. My engine warranty until 2024!
Either way, I intend of spending as much time at the track as possible, hitting redline over and over and.....

Hi Guys,
Not sure if I duplicate my post but I didn't see it published, so I'll re-write it. Sorry in case it will happen.
First of all, thanks for your effort in order to give all 911.1 GT3 the possibility to enjoy the car properly.
Based on this new10 years/ 120.000Km guarantee conditions, I was convinced to approach to the purchase of a 2015 GT3 with an F engine from a Porsche Official Dealer.
At the moment that I noticed this to the dealer, the salesman seems not have any info about it. I told him to take infor from Porsche and officially confirm that the car is in the guarantee program.
the deal link is the following: https://www.autoscout24.it/annunci/p...dd1a?cldtidx=7
Additionally, give a quick look on the majority of the deal from Dealer/private sellers of 2015/2016 GT3 with F/G motor, they never place this IMPORTANT INFORMATION on the deal.
this seems strange. so I just want to have your kind confirmation that I understood correctly.
could you please confirm me that All gt3 991.1 MY 2014-2016 with all motor type will be part of the 10 years program guarantee? that's right? I could be sure about it?
why the majority of deals don't notice it in the deal information? lack of knownledge?
Thanks a lot for your Kind replies.
