If somebody has anything in print that contradicts my SM I'd love to see it.

I don't get it. Mine is an August 2008 build so talked to my service manager today. No new pump for me he said. His take on these replacements is that they're not authorized or called for by PCNA. Some kind of advisory on premature fuel pump replacements came out this morning according to him. He also said the dealers that are doing this will eventually eat the cost of the pump if they replaced a fully functional one.

Interesting. I'm going in on Wednesday, will note the repair invoice to see if a specific recall campaign is noted, and post the info. The service manager at my dealership is very accomodating. Maybe it's the fact that I've purchased 3 Porsches and 2 Audis from the dealership, or maybe he's just a good guy. So it's possible that some dealers are replacing these things as a good will issue; no that can't be right.

WB08 - Replacing High-Pressure Fuel Pump (Workshop Campaign) WARRANTY
COMPLETED CAMPAIGN
1 000-043-301-44 HIGH-PRESSURE PU WARRANTY
1 000-043-301-05 ANTIFREEZE 3.7 WARRANTY
My service advisor said that this campaign had recently been initiated and they were taking care of it but he gave no other information like, for example, whether customers had to ask about it or not. However, some other posters in this thread indicated that they had been cold-contacted by their dealers. Sounds to me like at best, your dealer is misinterpreting Porsche's direction on the campaign, and at worst, giving you the run around. Good luck.

Sandwedge, I literally just got back home from the dealer. In agreement with Tony's earlier post on the campaign number, the invoice states:

There are no labor hours on the invoice, but I dropped the car off at 9am this morning. My advisor said they wanted the car to cool down for a while before the mechanic got into it. Drove home in the loaner and got a call at 1pm that the car was done. So I don't know exactly how long they worked on it, but they only had the car in the shop for 4 hours total.
