Unless we plan on moving out of the southeast, we're stuck with craig the regional. Everything is going through him now that isn't a run of the mill repair. This guy is all over the service departments and is not approving anything anymore. Not sure if its an issue with him, or if he's getting his marching order from PCNA. Supposedly he has to personally approve everything (obviously not day to day stuff) and they're sending him to the dealers to inspect and investigate before they authorize. He's a ball breaker for sure.

Passenger side hose underneath car next to gear box. Retainer clip not fully seated and the hose just slid out. Believe problem caused by clip being knocked sideways during RMS repair.

Andrew, sorry to hear about such a **** situation with the regional guy; that blows. Since he quotes the OM, its interesting how the tone has changed from the 996 OM to 997.
I used Gold Crest in GA for my fix; they were awesome.

It'll never happen but it would be great if Porsche did a recall on all these cars and performed an appropriate fix. Even when my engine was out all they would address was the one bad line....
