Just another question... they put some perfume inside my car and I hate the smell. I like leather smell !!! Do you have any trick to remove this?

Best regards.
Check the ashtray for a cork. Remove that, wash the tray, and you should be good to go.

Not trying to flame or create panic, but three failed water pumps on cars this new is significant in my eyes, and points to an issue.

This one was a t-stat housing:

This guy never got a follow up:

This seems to be two guys but it was a tank issue....
https://rennlist.com/forums/991/9328...991-2-a-3.html

So multiple coolant issues on the 991.2 but only three pumps so far....
I only counted one in this thread (the other was in a Macan in this thread) plus another in another thread, unless I am missing something.

I hate it when the dealership puts a scented cork in the ashtray. Next time it happens, I'm going to blast them on the dealership survey.

There were two in the first thread I linked.

Add this new guy to the list of water pump issues. Was going to pick up my new-to-me 2017 991.2 this morning, dealer called saying that during their CPO inspection they found “a very slight leak” in the water pump. Wants to replace it before I pick it up.

Not exactly the first post to RL I was planning to do...
