just thought i'd keep you posted on what happens with my extended warranty claim with warranty direct,ca. newport auto tells me my flywheel needs to be replaced as well as the motor that operates my sunroof,$3600 and $575 . both are covered in my policy . i should get a ruling tomorrow friday. still love my 05c2s after 70k miles.great info on this forum...

 

Want me to guess it?

 

Please do.

 

When did you purchase the warranty (eg, how long before you hit the 50,000 mile factory warranty limit)? Do you mind saying what it cost? I have a 05 C2S cab and may need 3rd party extended warranty in a year or so if I don't buy a newer car. Glad to hear you've had good luck on 70k miles. That is encouraging, as I have 22k on mine.

 

well porsche said i have burned my throwout bearing and my clutch so the flywheel failure is due to heat from this event(s). so the warranty direct people need to see some type of failure that is not related to this clutch/throwout bearing heat thing. in other words i'm not covered by my warranty. i don't abuse my car off the line and i don't ride the clutch pedal while driving. s--t, seems like i never have a decent argument with these porsche people. later

 

That was my guess. The clutch is a routine wear issue and with 70K miles they will wiggle out of paying. The motor they will cover .

 

i purchased my ext war. around 50k miles . i paid around $5600 dollars. also they are paying for the motor for the sunroof. also i should say in response to your comment about me not having problems with my car for the 70k mi. not true i 've had quite a few, but i love this car so i go along to get along.take care
