Hi Macca, yes, car can be driven NO problem...EXCEPT getting in and out of my driveway is impossible, and not wanting to leave it on the street in front of my house...I left it at the dealer, awaiting the new part.

Today I traded the Panamera in for a Cayenne loaner. Much better. Man, I MISS my GT3.

 

I needed my front lift when someone left a tennis shoe in the middle of the road!
It was a mid-top shoe but it still got stuck under the car!
So, up came the lift, and out went the shoe.
Another reason for the lift!

 

This is the best reason thus far to get the FAL.

 

Thank you for the update! Hopefully you'll never have to experience this again during your ownership of the car.

 

Hhahaha This reminded me of Mitch Hedberg's bit about escalators.

"I like a escalator man. An escalator cannot break. They can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

 

Just came back from the dealer. Service manager suggested that the "wooing" sound is from the pump although I couldn't duplicate that in their shop. I only showed them a sound clip that I recorded.

 

So, if it's end if next week, we may have a chance to view your beautiful RS!

 

thanks for the update

 

The hydraulic pump is broken, and there are NONE in the USA, and apparently NONE in Germany. 8 days out, no part, no car. And yes, I've contacted PCNA to complain....

 

That blows. Did they give you an ETA? How can they not have a single one in the world?

Dan (turns lemons into lemonade by looking forward to seeng 73 RS )

 

Looks like more compensation $$$ should be coming your way.

 

I forgot this was a 14. Man, I'd be upset about the delays.

Dan (understates)

 

I am upset, and I did ask for more compensation. Really getting annoying....

 

Dan, I was thinking the same thing...No GT3 = RS on the Cyn run the 14'th....

 

I read in the manual that when the car is parked you cannot leave the lift in suspended mode (up) for an extended period of time b/c that can cause undue pressure and harm to the lift. Could that be a cause in your case?
