Hi all
Just had the 6 year service carried out on my Gen 2 2009 C4S by an OPC and have been left confused (not difficult at my age)!
When I went to collect the car, I was given a Healthcheck sheet - within this were recommendations for replacement of the drive belt, PDK clutch oil and air filter. None of this work was done at the service. Looking at the service book, all this work is additional work specifically required at the 6 year service, albeit at extra cost (indeed the space for the service stamp has a tick box to record replacement of the drive belt)....but service book not yet stamped as I forgot to leave it in the car!
I queried if this work was compulsory, as I have OPC warranty, and was told that it was "recommended". As the car is technically not 6 years old for a couple of months, I was told if I wanted the work done I could bring the car back in a couple of months. This is my first Porsche and I have only had it a year. But I would have expected this work to have been mentioned at the time I booked it in and discussed what work would be needed.
Anyone else had a similar experience with servicing, where part of the service work is carried out 2 months after the service? I also assume if there was a warranty claim and the work is not done, the claim would be rejected?
Any thoughts or experiences welcome. Still getting used to how the OPC's work, previously drove Mercedes where you got hit for everything at once then had some respite till the next year service was due!
Thanks in advance.
