Hi chaps. Sorry for the lack of a progress report. Just out of hospital after a small op.
Prior to doing any more work on the car, OPC Leeds insisted on written confirmation from us that we would agree to pay the £1700 that it would cost to remove the engine from the car and re-fix the bolt, re-assemble the engine and put it back in the car.
OPC Leeds insisted on us agreeing this before they would do any more investigative work on the car. This is to protect their own position and ensure they are paid for any work carried out.
In the interim period (earlier last week) my wife contacted customer services at OPC Solihull. This is where we bought the car from in April.
Their service guy was astounded at how we were being messed about and told my wife that if we had returned the car to them, it would have been fixed at no cost to us and OPC Solihull would have then argued the warranty issue with Porsche internally.
We have now been contacted by OPC Leeds and told that further damage has occurred to the engine, requiring the replacement of several valves and other components
Apparently they have sent a three page list of parts to Porsche warranty UK that will be required to repair the car :shock:
I really don't have a good feeling about this. If I'm entirely honest I'm not even sure if we will be able to afford the repairs, if Porsche don't cough up.
I'll let you know how I get on when I have more news.
