That must be because it's pre-owned. If it were new, you couldn't get a CPO warranty at the time of purchase. Also, if you had purchased the car new, you couldn't add a CPO warranty at a later time to extend the original factory warranty.

A good 12 hour drive should help flush out some gremlins!

Guys,
I received word from PAG. They are saying they will replace the parts rather than provide a G engine. I am surprised, enraged, disappointed and distressed all at the same time. Macca and others - what actions should I take? You've seen the pics - the rockers and the camshaft.
I am going to write to PAG and protest. This has potential implications to others with a 2014 or even 2015. In short, if the status of my engine isn't bad enough, how bad does it have to be?

I'm very surprised about this outcome. I would demand a bore scope examination on the basis of your concern that metal particles may have caused further damage t the engine that hasn't been identified by simply removing the cams and rockers. In another RLers case a few pages back this revealed scored bore and changed the PAG position to engine replacement. Perhaps you should contact that member by PM and discuss options? Just. Though but this is where I would go next....best of luck mate.

Back in the vanilla 996 non gt3 cars days -engines were just throwaways. Rather than rebuild if it's even possible they just replace. Yeah be nice to have a whole new engine to replace under warranty but if it's rebuildable that's really a good thing especially when the time warranty runs out- I like to know its rebuildable vs a whole new motor when warranty runs out.

If this is the same bulletin that has been out there, they tried doing this with mine but saw the scaring and replaced the motor. It took 52 days total but I got my car back and so far so good...compensation is minimal but at least something, never seen a manufacturer give any compensation besides a loaner

From what I understand, the damage to the valve levers and cams is due to a failure of the coating on the levers AND insufficient oil flow/pressure and high RPM. Is that true, and if so how will just replacing parts prevent the problem from reoccurring? Has the coating on the replacement levers been improved so much that oiling is no longer a factor? Does the parts fix address the oiling issue at all? So many questions; anyone know the answers?
