Hi All,
I have a 991.2 Turbo. The wheels have plastic circular bits in the middle with a Porsche logo.
The edges of these bits all started to peel and look disgusting.
Car in for a frist service this morning and I pointed this out to the service advisor.
She proceeded to give me a long pitch around how all plastic centre covers to this and the problem is not unique to Porsche. It is apparently down to the salt on the roads or the non-PH neutral car wash which I may be using.
When I politely advised her that I haven't driven the car in the winter, and I always use specialised PH neutral wheel cleaner she said it may be to do with rain...
I asked to see if they'd replace them under warranty, as to me this is a design defect. I've had cars with plastic centre wheel bits before (Audi's Mercedes) and they didn't have that issue.
Has anyone else had this experience?
Thanks,
K
