Have any of the CGT owners performed the light fogging fix from Porsche or the other 2-3 warranty items.

My dealer did all of them when I had the CGT in for a routine oil change. Easy and painless.

I also had mine done during an oil change, they had to order the parts so be sure to call them before taking it in for service.

It did fix the problem with the headlights fogging and the door pull on my passengers side was very stiff before the fix.

I thought all 05 CGT's came from factory with this fix? (door pulls and fogging)

Mine was built in January, 2005, and needed the anti-fogging fix.

thanks I was concerned due to some of the cutting but if all of you say it was no problem than I am going to allow them to correct thanks.

I KNOW about the parts and calling I have been waiting for over 3 weeks for the kit.

Out of curiosity, how much does a CGT oil change set you back by?

vramani

Houston dealer $800-$900

What constitutes the price - labor, parts, or is it just the cost with no break down given? Such as is the filter $300, oil $300, labor $300, or do critical parts have to be removed and a specialist has to be flown in resulting in $800 in labor on a $50 filter and $70 oil? TIA - no answer needed, just curious as Ferrari's are about 50/50 labor parts for an oil change. Just curious if there is a special blend $100/qt oil used or what?

Not sure but I think it is labor intensive due to carbon deck cover needs to be removed, again I am guessing 3-4 hours labor $450 and the other half would be oil and parts.

themarsman

Mine was about $600 for the oil change, it didn't break down the labor / parts percentage.

I know it does take a lot of oil, if I remember correctly around 13 quarts and it is a special blend of Mobil 1 so they charge quite a bit for that and the filter. Overall for a once a year expense it is pretty minimal.

It's the time involved in getting the car on a work lift. There's a very specific lifting procedure that includes tying down the car so it doesn't do a backflip off the lift. Not kidding.

atach the plates, tie down the car. lift the car
pull the rear panel
drain the oil, clean up all the oil that is designed to run out all over the 2nd panel
fill the oil
check for faults, top off fluids. tire presure
change the filter.
