Porsche Approved purchase and noticed this damage on my rear left rotor today, only done 100km on the car since purchase.

Is this kind of damage acceptable? I’ll be going into the dealer to get it looked at but hoping for a warranty replacement, I’m surprised the car was sold as Porsche Approved looking like this.

This is bad rotor will need to be replaced. Let us know if the dealer will replace under warranty.

Looks like someone dropped a wheel on the rotor. Make the call/visit now! The rotors will need to be replaced in pairs.

Wheel removal damage....rotors must be replaced in pairs too.

Agree

Good investment is a wheel guide. After you take the nut off screws in the wheel guide, Large cylindrical piece of alum and the center of the wheel slides out on this guide and clears the rotors thus no damage. I keep one in my car. I also have guides for my Cayenne with five lug PCCB's to prevent rotor damage

Agree with Alan and mdrums. That sure as heck isn't normal wear.

Probably would not pass a CPO inspection with that chip in the rotor. The inspection paperwork should have the readings from the ceramic rotor test gizmo.

Rotors are a wear item and it's not likely they will replace under warranty. Although a friend of mine who had one damaged by gravel from the road did get them to help with part of the cost. Never hurts to ask.

I found worse on my rotors on a CPO '16 GT3 RS. I'm going through arbitration as we speak. . .
In my experience, the dealers do not check the PCCB, and do not know how to check them. You should definitely get the laser measurer on those rotors to verify that they aren't past the wear limit also.
The CPO report does not list a box for the rotors. This is a major (possibly intentional) oversight for Porshe.
Document everything thoroughly. . .

Great idea. Any links on where to buy these? Cheers.

SmokinGTS here on Rennlist makes a nice one out of delrin.

I think a guy on Rennlist makes one out of plastic too. https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/CLTOOL.html

I would go with that one. I know Matt from ObsessedGarage uses his and it is always nice supporting a fellow enthusiast on Rennlist.

SmokinGTS makes the best Center Lock alignment tool.

People place way too much faith into the CPO process. Yes, CPO is nice to have, but it’s no replacement for doing your own due diligence.

It’s no different than blindly trusting a sales guy that says “car is great, like new condition!”
