Sorry I didn't make this clear. Page 17 in the UK GT3 Intermediate Service (12,000 Miles or 2 years states:

"Replace rear anti-roll-bar mounts" as one of the service items.

I didnt see the part on the invoice so queried it. Sure enough it wasn't done.

It maybe just a UK thing? But worth checking guys.

Good to know. And don't just get the factory junk -- get some after-market threaded drop-links so you can dial out the pre-load.

I went to the Porsche days, where I saw quite a few vehicles already equipped with the new nuts. The difference on the outside is that there is NO torque specification written on the nuts anymore.

The rear sway bar brackets are a wear item, just like on the CUP cars. Mine broke on the second track weekend. Now we check them every service stop. I will replace them before the summer.

The campaign in Saudi Arabia is AB01

What's the scope of this campaign, please tell?

The Workshop manager called me and said one of the North America Porsche Club during a track session figured out that some CL cannot support the 600Nm and Porsche worked on new CLs that will be delivered to all dealers. He said they mention it is not a big issue if you are using the car in normal driving but in race track they recommend to double check the CL if you can see any damage.

Now the delay is coming from dealers since all need to check what colors of CL their customers need and to request for quantities. All CL will be changed for free (labor and parts) and you can visit any dealer within the car warrantee coverage area and they must order the set for you.

CRex

Good stuff, thanks. I bet it'll take a while for the campaign to reach us here in asia but will keep an eye out.

What Center Lock's come on a car now if you order it...the old ones that can not support the 600nm or the new CL's that can support this amount of torque?

Larry Cable

None on either the GT3 or RS since production is completed. Assuming that the correct CLs will come on the 4.0 ... not sure about the GTS, it probably depends upon the production date ... although from an earlier post it would seem that the new CL nuts no longer have the torque spec on them, so perhaps that is an indicator, but the definitive answer has to be checking the part #...

Booked my GT3 in for the CL replacement today. I was told that i could not get the car in until 20/6/11 as they need to order in the new CL nuts. They wanted to know what colour nuts i had fitted on the car. Interestingly they wanted the car to be booked in with them for a week just incase they found any issues with the PCCB disks !! I questioned this and was told that it is possible that movement on the CL can cause the five red stub bolts (sorry not sure what these are called) on the disks to work loose and damage the ceramic disks !!!

Also an insert has to be added to the drivers manual to state torque is 600nm.

cheers - no sign (yet) of any campaign in the US ...

useful to know about the possible PCCB issue also ... keep us posted!

I had my CL's tightened to 600 Nm at the dealer last week, mentionned the Porsche bulletin. They tightened the nuts, but did not replace them. They had the Porsche service notice on paper, and no mention of replacement...

Larry Cable

it appears as though the indiviual regions are rolling this out according to their own schedules etc ...

Porsche dealers they dont know how to deal with GT3 cars and they don't like to read anything about GT3. Only few are available in every country so they consider it as less important. Dealers already received the cl campain since 2 weeks but they didn't act properly since they are busy with Panameras and cayennes.
