Will Porsche cover the other burnt parts of car? Other than the mechanicals/electrical and any ancillaries with motor provided. Who repaints the car? Don't know how long the fire was burning but I imagine you have to think about how much heat affected the metal panels and suspension bits etc. Probably cheaper if they just give you a new car. I would worry trying to sell the car and say car was on fire. Mike

Did this engine have the updated heads/oiling system "upgrade"?
Sorry for your loss......
If PCNA handed u the keys to a '16 GT3, would your heart be in it? You've had a real rough patch.....

Comprehensive insurance should cover this. I had a friend who's turbo caught on fire, nothing like yours but his comprehensive insurance covered it. That is if Porsche doesn't cover the loss.

I'm not sure what resolution would make me feel good about this. Maybe a configurable RS as the replacement! I've got 15-20k in mods in the car so it is an open question how Porsche is going to address that. The engine fire chewed up a bunch of those. Unless they want to send the message that the intended use of their cars is bubble wrap, I simply want to be made whole.

No, when I had my last limp mode issue the resolution was to replace three injectors. That was about a year ago and it has run fine since.

Dominus is working for me this evening though if I were in your shoes I'd probably be shooting tequila!
