2005 CS, gone naked recently, 54k miles, so far (knock on wood) no problems, use it as back therapy after riding the TT

60k service found leaky coolant tubes and some oil leak from the engine, cost $2500 plus $650 60K service and $495 for new spark plugs, total of $3545...feel naked and cold...

 

Can you post the bill, I would love to see the charges and the parts used. $450 for Plugs is insane., I just paid $850 for the coolant pipes at my dealer.

 

I have 80K on mine.....

 

I just turned 88k. I have the extended warranty I bought for 4k and I have already seen over 10k in Porsche charges covered for all the usual(large)problems. Coils, Coolant tubes, Cardan Shaft, TPS sensors in the wheels, the TPS motherboard. The last one being the starter which also needed to be replaced since it got rusted when the coolant tubes blew. This was the last issue on the list of what typically goes wrong with your Cayenne. Plenty of smaller things like emergency brake, motor mounts as well. This was one of the earliest ones sold in Aug 2003 and I have had my fair share of isssues which were all covered by Porsche and extended warranty. After all this I still really like it. It is a loaded Cayenne S with most every option but the air suspension. I am sure if I had that it would have been replace by now anyways.

 

I will...car being picked up on Wed.

62K on 2005 CTT.

Recently had the 60K service and the coolant pipes replaced. The coolant pipes were courtesy of PCNA and I do not have CPO.

I give a big thumbs up to my dealer and service advisor in Torrance, CA for going the extra mile. Also to PCNA for taking care of a loyal customer. If this keeps up, I may have to go and buy another Porsche.

 

I am confused is it or is it not a covered repair?
Appears to be a material defect...

 

re: the coolant tube repair... CS problem only?

CV6 here...

 

I know it's a V8 (S and TT"s) issue but don't know if it's also on the V6's.

 

Here is the invoice, dealer only covered coolant tube labor (about $1000) under warranty as good will nothing else...

60k service $762
spark plugs $586
coolant tube (parts only) $707
coils (2nd replacement) $413
camshaft cover oil leak $498

total service: $3058.00

 

Thats staggering ! the coolant pipe parts I was charged for was $330

Major inflation of parts at your dealer

 

Coils are $12

 

IIRC, I have seen the same coolant tube repair for about the same $2K around here quoted by other members...as far as the price inflation I am not sure if any other New England area dealer would be different, everything is expensive around here and to be honest I am not sure of the Indy's either, I think it's a mentality that if you drive a Porsche you can afford a high service bill. Between my car and my wife's tank, we had a $6k car service bill this month, where is the stimulus money?

I am not happy but what can I do?

 

Sam, I am a tech at a dealer. They double charged you labor. They charged you to repalce your plugs, then charged you AGAIN to replace the coils. Coils should have only been parts charge, no labor as they are out to replace the plugs.
