Gt3 Racer RS

Got in my GT3 for the first start up after 2 month of sitting turned off. Had the clutch pedal shoved 7/8 was back and tried to turn key and it said depress clutch pedal and I was confused because I've push it back less than that before and it started right up without messages! Micro switch issue? Just me?

The same thing happened to me. Dealer replaced it and noted that he performs a lot of these repairs.

Cool, so its not just me being crazy!

My 2010 GT3 is doing the same thing. It took two or three tries to get it started yesterday. I assume I can get it replaced under warranty before it fails.

Gt3 Racer RS

Yeah, my dealer said it would be under warranty so I'll take it soon!

Yep, it's a common problem. It's a switch issue. Had to replace it on my 10 GT3 and just today on my 12 GTS. It's frustrating because it's intermittent but it has never failed to start. Tech said that there has been a TSB out on it for a while and that Porsche is working on a new switch. In the meantime they just replace it under warranty.

Should I wait til the resolve switch issue or just go ahead and replace it?

Ditto here too. Need to get mine replaced.

Yes, very common. Happened with my 7.2 GT3 and my 6.2 GT3. Replace it asap. Nothing serious to worry about.

Replace it, don't wait. One day your car may not start...

Gt3 Racer RS

Drl, you know how much I drive my gt3! If I have to, I'll flat bed it!

Apparently there was a "bad lot" of switches at Porsche.
Mine went bad and was replaced a few months ago.
Get yours replaced....no big deal.

How long does it take?

Just did this on a 996TT as well. Very common problem.
