my variocam sensor failed on my 07 997GT3 during euro delivery. I had driven 30 feet past the entrance from the factory when it failed.

ehh, I hate hearing about problems like these, just stinks, especially if they dont take care of the problem under warranty. Glad you all had yours fixed with no out of pocket expense.
what happens when you have a low milage car and the warrant expires, because of years, this should be a tsb , is there a tsb?

That would really depend on Porsche to warranty it or not...They really wouldn't have to if you're out of warranty but it would be more of a good faith thing...

Porsche is known for not taking care of this sort of "known" issues.....think about the 996 3.4..
