Great thread. OP, it's because of your targa bar scratch experience, and the resultant cost of replacement, that I wrapped my targa bar. Thank you for the heads up.
How did that come out? BTW I am fairly certain my scratch was induced by a rattle repair attempt...not any normal use. I can't prove it though which is why the repair cost was on me.
- One full set of P-Zeros
- One rear P-Zero, as it caught a flat on the way home from the full set (Tire Rack warranty FTW!)
- Another rear set of P-Zeros
- One set of brake pads and sensors

Amazing. Used Xpel Stealth. First time anyone tried it and the work's all custom as a result. Pics are on my build thread.
My car had a ticking like noise from the dashboard - it was the gas tank which apparently is quite common and not a big deal to secure - nice when all you hear is the music from the radio or the motor.
a "creak" here and there ....had a rattle and they fixed it.....An LED front turning light blew out .....my radio seems a little odd....wont pick up my bluetooth....Can I switch it for APPLEPLAY model??? LOL.....other than that no issues.....
2014 911/50 built 3/2014 and purchased 6 months used CPO. Brought it to Germany so warranty ran out at the 2 year point, 3/2016, outside of the USA. When I get back to the US in June, the CPO continues to 3/2020. Fingers crossed nothing major happens. If it does, shipping the car home right to a dealer!
Warranty Work
1. Fuel sensor in gas tank went bad and caused a check engine light. Took the Porsche dealer here two days to figure it out as the sensor is a US Spec only part.
Non-Warranty Work
1. Heater COV failed. My independent Porsche mechanic charged me only 40 Euro for the part. Didn't charge me labor for it or for doing an oil change (I supplied the oil, filter, ring, and seal).
Wear Items
One set of rear 305s - about 12k miles
Seems to like a top-off of coolant every six months (needle near min mark)
Seems to like a quart of oil about every 8 months
