Just got a letter in the mail on this from Porsche. Warranty is extended another 4 years, 50,000 miles for 2003-2006 Cayennes. Cool!

 

So you are saying even if you are out of warranty, this is good up to 100k 8 years from mfd?

Original owner only? Details!

 

Just checked my mail and nothing. Maybe tomorrow? dave

 

I would like to see how they handle this coil pack issue to those who fixed the problem themselves

 

Pass the doobie

 

Will do

 

my letter states that you are eligible for reimbursement if you meet the following requirements

1- you have an 03-06 model year cayenne
2- you have paid to replace ignition coils for the concerns above
3-the repair was performed before date of this letter and mileage didn't exceed 100k
4-you have original or legible copy of paid repair order showing
-name
-parts and labor itemized
-vehicle model yr and vin
-repair date
-repair mileage
-name and address of authorized pcar dealer or licensed repair facility

and a lot of good luck

 

Got mine too. I wonder if they will be doing more of this sort of thing now that PAG is part of VAG. VW used to do (probably still does) this fairly often...the 1.8T sludging problem stands out in my memory.

Perhaps there will be an extended warranty on the coolant pipes; okay wishful thinking.

 

Got mine too. I also had an odd issue this morning with my MY 2004 cayenne. After starting, engine just shuts down after 30-40 seconds. I hope that this has something to do with coils as the warranty extension will cover it.

Will report back on Monday

 

Got my notification, too. Knock me over with a feather.

 

That's fantastic. I already paid to replace mine. Hope I get a letter too!!

 

My letter states:

What will Porsche and Porsche Dealers do?
Porsche is extending the warranty on the improved ignition coils with the part number 955 602 101 04 (and successor part numbers), for the condition stated above, i.e. for 4 years or 50,000 miles from the first date of the installation of the improved parts, whichever occurs first. During the extended warranty period, should your Porsche dealer diagnose your vehicle with the concern above, the ignition coil will be replaced at no charge...

I think we're up to version _07 now, and near as I can tell, in the year 2007 the upgrade was to _04.

So, my '06 still has original coils (_03?). If it wasn't under warranty and the coils failed, the repair would not be covered. But, if the new improved part failed in the future it would be covered?

 

Ironic that Porsche is going to write a check to Larry's estate ...

 

so i have a 2005 w/ 49700 miles and original coils but I think that I'm having problems w/ them. Car idles rough on first cold start of the day and clears up after about 20-30 secs. Would I be covered for replacement or no. Just a little unclear. Thanks

 

Got mine in the mail too. I wish they would add plastic coolant tubes and cardian shaft to the list as well.
