Werk 1 facility in Zuffenhausen; 993
Any listers have an experience with the factory's Werk 1 service facility? My car is there as we speak and scheduled for the 3.8L upgrade in the next couple of weeks.

Lots of us wish our cars were there getting the RS treatment. In fact, my somewaht fuzzy dream at this point, is to import a 993RS into the US. If I can pull this off, ALL MODS are already complete, everything!

I took factory delivery in 96 of a special order 993. It went back to the Wish Shop for reprogramed tiptronic along with some cosmetic changes (yellow seat belts and a redo on the leather dash). Their work is top notch. While at Werks One I got to see many special order high performance projects.
The one that stode out was a 935 motor going into what appeared to be a street 911 turbo. There were several 993RS being modified, however these were not US cars, most were heading for Hong Kong.
It was just like Burger King, you CAN have it your way, just bring lots of money.

When you went to Burger King you had many unhappy weekends. When Dieter told you " MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY" you became a satisfied customer.

My '95 C2 is due at Werk 1 next week for a service - (Christmas present from my wife!)
In all of the dealings in arranging it they seem to be very thorough and helpful - more news next week

Mike

I've been dealing with Joachim Blaus (+49 711 911 7149) Anita Fleischer handles the booking (0049 711 911 7151)
A full service, factory tour (free), museum visit (free) and lunch (on them) - all for less than what a Swiss Porsche dealer charges to fill your screenwash

At least that's what I've decided to call them until they find my air pump. (See the thread on the 993tt forum under 'cold start noise'). How long a drive is it from London to Stuttgart? (In case I opt for maintaining OPC History but can't bear to have the car abused over here).

You could do it very nicely in a day. I've managed 10 hours (Including Le Shuttle) from Pimlico in SW1 to Basle in a variety of cars from Toyota Corolla (don't ask!) to Saab 9000 to 993 - and this is on the peage's at reasonable speed (it's only when your passengers insist on a full "blow-out" meal that you've got a problem). Stuttgart is nicely accessible - (you could also swing by Gert for some "toys" for the car).
I imported my 993 from Germany to England and now to Switzerland. Having 3 previous Werk 1 stamps in the service history got me thinking, and now I've enquired about the prices it makes sense to do it (I've also managed to fit it around a meeting in Frankfurt so some work will be done!)
All the best

PS You could'nt set up a humour thread for lonely 993 expats - dilbert gets a bit samey after a while........?

Mags,
I took in a trip to Gert just over a year ago.
The money I saved on the parts paid for the long weekend in Ghent, with a day visiting Gert and his family to pick the bits up.
Gert can suggest some lovely places to visit. I forget the name of one of them on the coast full of boutiques and jewellers, but my 993 was the least expensive car in the street !!
May not result in divorce, but could be just as costly
I suppose if you went to Werk 1, you could then always take the 'scenic route' home - via the Alps !!
Cheers,
John. (94L Iris Blue 993 C2)
