GTS 6 spd

GTS went to the dealer for a slave cylinder replacement under warranty and has been find for 2.5 weeks. Today, after running an errand, the clutch flew - yes flew, to the floor upon engagement. Pulled it up while venting over a likely repeat repair only to have it fly to the floor again.......or should I say firewall?

Noticed smoke......wth?!

something dripping under the truck......wth?!!

dripping becomes flames.....wtf?!!!!







Very curious how the dealer and/ or Porsche will handle this.

What was the cause?

Holy cow...

GTS 6 spd

Cause is unknown - happened this morning. my assumption is a faulty dealer repair of the slave cylinder - either clamp was not put on properly or hose got nicked. Long shot is something systemic w/ mater cylinder, but since mine is...was an 08, doubt it a manufacturers defect.

This is going to last a LOT more than 4 hours...

I'm thinking fire, but it's just a guess.

Glad you got out OK --- I'm surprised it did not consume the whole car once it got going

Wow, that's awful. Sorry to see it.

Damn.

pgapromex

so sorry to see that

I hope you are still under warranty or at least the previous repair was

Two words, "Dealer Denial"

GTS 6 spd

if dealer denies then porsche is on the hook as it's still under warranty. Dealer won't have a leg to stand on given the repair they just performed and the symptoms prior to ignition.

Don't care who ponies up, but one of the two is providing me w/ a replacement GTS, as well as repairing/ replacing my garage door and driveway. Or I'll have one word for them - lawyer.
