must be completed before the vehicles are delivered to the new Porsche Owners.
This series of actions will be applicable to the vehicles listed in the VIN-range
including the vehicles that may have already been delivered to retail customers.
Please complete these affected vehicles if they return to your dealership for any
reason during this time period.
We ask you to perform the following checks in addition to the normal PDI procedure for
vehicles in your New-Car inventory. A PDI "New Vehicle Arrival" check sheet (from Service
Technical Information Bulletin, Group 0, #0302) has been included at the end of the Quality-

Each dealership will receive an initial supply of parts required for the range of workshop

I am glad this thread keeps going....soon I will create two new topics....

Need Legal Advice on Lemon Law

and

What do I buy now?

 

mark,

So Ben, Do you like your wife? Or are you using her truck as a hit man. Get rid of it befor she gets hurt!!!!!

 

wow I am interested in

Replacing Trim Strips
Check and Adjust Rear Lid to correct rattle in Rear

 

nah, she just allows the road to completely clear before trying to cross it. she knows the CT's best 0-anything time is 1+ seconds.

 

forgot about that...haa

 

had some fun with a sport bike on one of the entrances to the highway which makes almost a complete circle and is very tight. he had the thing all leaned over with a lane in which to get around - if he could, but he couldn't :-) the handling and power (once it actually comes on) is admittedly amazing and the ride quality is miraculous for such a heavy and great handlinig vehicle. the hesitation is pretty much most aggrevating off the line, but is work aroundable elsewhere when manual shifting.

 

bump.

(I guess I am mad at my Cayenne again.)


haha...laugh or cry...
