Thanks for the update.

 

Hi everyone,

I would like to check a few things re CL's. I've read all (I think) of the topics and posts here - but want to ask a few things ...

Last week all CL car owners (here) received yet another letter regarding the 7,000km checks with special emphasis reminding us that "after every race track use" the CL and "adjacent peripheral components must always be checked ...". (This is the same as what the Supplement to the Driver's Manual says).

To me, that means that the CL needs to be pulled apart too, and re-greased if necessary. Doing this after every track use seems a bit excessive? If I buy a torque wrench and do it myself I can see Porsche citing that as an 'out' if there are issues. I doubt the dealer will do it for free!

Have there been any 'wheel-off/loose' issues since tightening to 600Nm and replacing the 500Nm parts in the campaign/recall AB01?

Is there detailed document from Prosche showing what to check / what to grease (with what types of grease / paste / etc should be used)? I saw reference to WM440519 but couldn't find it.

I think some DIY checks combined with official ones are the best way to handle this but curious as to what you all do.

I do about 10 track 'days'/year and most of them are partial days (3 hour sessions running in 3 groups). The splines on my car all pop in/out with ease.

 

The sticky on this sub forum shows pics to help visually evaluate. I use the supplement from the first post in this thread to grease up:

Thanks. I'll see if some of the residual q's are answered on this thread - or perhaps I'll ask them on another thread too, but it seems the issue's died down a little after the recalls.
