From a liability perspective, it's in PAG's and the Insurance company's best interest to destroy them. Just imagine if a fatal accident happened in the future and somehow they were able to link back a part to a replaced engine. PAG/Insurance company would be paying significantly more than what they are paying today to scrap these engines.

No coverage on the engines. It is what is known as "work product" exclusion. The engines are a work product of Porsche. Porsche will eat the loss.

Yep. It's the cost of doing business, and defective don't not mean intent to defraud. It's an error caused by Porsche or supplier, and insurance will made you whole. No different if you accidentally burned your house down the insurance will cover the claim. Most major companies will cover cost less than 1M, and this will be north of 25M. Also all the labor will be covered, shipping ect. Can't be a global billion dollar company without liability coverage. The only pain Porsche will feel is their pride, and the car is still on back log so no loss of sales will occurs.

Ok. Here's the new one courtesy of Arth.

After crawling under my car, it's clear that everything up to and including the cats is new, including all ancillaries. The side and center mufflers including the tail pipes are the only pieces remaining from the old engine. Based on a discussion with my service advisor, this is typical for engine replacements from Porsche.

OMG, if I hadn't seen a picture I never would have believed that!! Thanks for posting.

Now then, as already mentioned... they surely won't scrap all the ancillaries as well?? I wouls happily pay half price for a used alternator off one of these engines, should I ever need one??

I would think for certain they would be destroyed ......Porsche would want complete closer on this issue ..to much of a PR risk to have those engines out there........They are destined for scrap

LMAO. If I was Porsche I would definitely stick the reject 14's engines into the 15's

If one person dies using those engines the law suit would not be good. They will have to scrap them but I have to believe there are certain parts they can still save and use

Yeah. In the grand scheme of things, just a small accounting write off as an extraordinary item and call it a day.

if they are sure they are scrapping them, why cant I have one , Im even willing to pay for it

I'm always the paranoid thinker. I thought what if the Colorado Porsche mechanic after taking out the old engine, and placing it next to the new engine, had a couple of bong hits over his lunch hour, and than put the old engine back in the car!

I guess we can chalk one up for Porsche in not allowing the dealers to do the swap.

If he shares the bong then I guess I am alright with it

Although every one using vaporizers these days
