Did you have a coolant leak/water pump replaced?

When was your car built?

No idea, is it on a sticker somewhere like with BMW? I bought it at 5 months old so didn’t get the info when it was being made.

A black sticker on driver's side door jam shows the manufacture date "MM/YY".

You can also get it off the “My Porsche” web site.

Don’t see anything that looks like build date - there are 3 stickers inside the door and nothing jumps out on any of them as being a date. Am in the UK so possible different sticker sets or I am just missing something obvious!

These are the black stickers inside my driver’s door. Can’t see anything looking like a build date. UK Carrera T picked up new in April 2018. Built to order, so a March 2018 build date.

Okay, I guess cars marketed in different geographic areas get different sticker configurations.
However, there are websites that will give a cars specs (incl. production month) by entering a VIN code. Do a search on Rennlist as there are numerous threads on this subject.

Got mine back this morning after 6 days in the shop. Here are the old and new part numbers. Service advisor said they are both "Porsche" parts, didn't know who the supplier was, but since the part numbers are different this time, hopefully I've got a more recent upgrade to solve the repeated problems of the past. Interesting the "new" part number is sequentially prior to the "old" part number. Could be the tech or advisor meant the opposite. Regardless, here you go...

Follow on to my previous post. Don't know why I didn't get pump part D.

Manufacture date of my GTS was March, 2017.

I don't have the time and expect more respect than going through that turkey trot. Issues shall be resolved with the advisor or at the same instance with the service manager or I will open a case with PCNA. We pay for the expectation of high reliability for these cars and when something goes wrong with them deserve a rapid resolution particularly while under warranty.

Ayup. Bad water pump. New one is on order. Should be fixed early next week.
