I'm glad to hear they are taking care of you. My nephew is currently in the process of buying that '18 718 Cayman base they have on their lot, and I drove down to look it over with him. Salesweasel seemed ok, but felt like he took me more seriously than he did my nephew (28 y/o, but has 6 figure salary). If you were more north like me, I'd suggest Zak's in Hudson NH, or Kachel Motor Company in Lawrence as the "higher end" indy shops.
They took their time on emails until he offered to put $1k down on it, then all of a sudden they were getting back to him within hours, which I guess is pretty standard for sales, but 'eh'.
Best of luck and keep us up to date.

As said here previously. Do they have a more senior tech that you can request ? A lot of these guys fake it till they make it as there is a huge shortage in qualified wrenches. I would call the manager once a ŵeek and also PCNA weekly documenting call times and content. I would also ask they refund the spark plug work as obviously that was an inexperienced tech throwing parts at the real issue which caused the plugs to foul. On modern engines plugs dont simply get oily or whatever by themselves it is caused by an issue. On a side note sorry all this is happening im sure this is more than one RLrs worse nightmare. Ŵork the process and be polite but have those bastards on speed dial.

Hopefully just turbos and they cover it! Keep us posted.

Was the perfect excuse to upgrade the turbo and upgrade pistons/rods/crankshaft/cams etc.
Wish it was as cheap to upgrade the 911.

Definitely curious to hear the resolution from the OP.

Hey All! so here is where we are at - i received a call from service manager last night informing me that my car is ready for pick up! according to the latest Tech it was AOS that was faulty! Kudos to those who correctly guessed that (assuming its fixed!)
the service manager told me it was fixed a week ago but they wanted to be sure before calling me as its the third time its been in for the same problem.
i have attatched the report to this post for all to review. it was all covered by extended warranty so i am so pleased i took that that out when i had the chance. cost was 3800 and have all ready utilised about 15k's worth of coverage.

Was all your SCHEDULED maintenance done with the same dealer?

yes it was fine, i drove until it was well into the warm zone, i got onto the 95, selected sport + hit the gas a few times and then it started smoking, i lifted on and off to see the extent of it and then it when into some sort of frenzy!
