Can this be done? Am I faced with trying to get reimbursed with receipt in hand?

Indy is stating that they didn't know I had CPO, and that my complaint might be more nitpicky rather than a real warranty issue.

Thanks for any feedback.

No chance it will get reimbursed if not performed by Porsche.

That's the worry - so much for saving $1k on the brakes...

What work did you have done? CPO might not have covered it anyway.

Bearings - would have been covered. But reminded now that any repair work from the indy I should be more engaged with. maintenance is fine.

Strange. Wheel bearings? How many? Mileage? Year? Tracking?

Up above you said "brakes" but, I wouldn't consider bearings brake work. Yes, the CPO would have covered that. Live & learn.

The thinking is that it was coincidental timing - front left vibration noise at speed when wheel centered or turning left on lane change and a little louder during braking at highway speed. Noticed immediately after brake job.

Post bearing replacement, still have noise during braking that could resolve in time. Honestly at first it sounded like a loose door panel or interior trim, more of a buzzing noise that was too faint to hear with the window down.

Let's just say that $$$ later, this first Porsche has not endeared me at all. Really made a mistake with the C2 PDK - love the handling and want to move into a model that's a better fit.


'13 C2 PDK daily driver - 41k miles, never tracked. Just had brakes, PDK service, 40k, and tires done + the front left bearing.

In my experience for bad front wheel bearings: vibration turning left = right wheel bearing bad and vice versa.

That's what I thought - and when they gave it a spin it was extremely tight. But, as far as left turn only weighing the right, there is an inside and outside race on the bearing and turning left still weights the inside of the left.
