Diesel Issues....
Nice looking rig there!
I tow my 23' Yamaha Jet boat with the '16 CD diesel and love it. I usually get close to 20mpg when not dragging up and over mountain passes. The towing of the diesel is great.
Now if Porsche were to offer a credit on my diesel would I take it? I'd have to think about that one quite a bit as I'd likely upgrade to an S.

Those Yamaha jet boats are nice and very quick. I see them up in the lake in Maine.
I have an 09 232 Limited S. I bought it new in 2012 (thanks to the economy slowdown). It's been a great boat and I do all my own maintenance on it.
Here's a few pics of it one day after cleaning it up...

hey thanks they are fas out of the hole but top end is only 53.... kinda sucks LOL I have a 15 FZS SVHO that does 80 (its re-flashed VIPEC) gets there quick too
I have a 232 just L not s and I love it!! I do my maint too- spark plugs, oil, oil filter, grease bearing takes no time- but I have the boat, 2 pwc, Jeep unlimited, truck and cayenne to work on daaaaamn lots of oil!!!... oh wait I take the C in lol!!
Funny how this thread turned into a boat thread! haha
My wife drives a '13 CD and the warranty deal seemed like a very nice gesture. We plan to keep it around for a while so that was definitely some good news for us; anything beyond that would just be gravy in all honesty...

Thanks on the pics. The boat is a lot of work but a lot of fun too.
I too plan to keep my CD for a long time so the extended warranty is a nice gesture. I would however, expect Porsche to do more than just a warranty. These cars are the most-expensive variant of those in diesel gate and as such I'd expect more as a token of sorry.
Regardless what the VW ceo said this week, VW lied about these cars (this is not a mis-interpretation of the rules) and they need to do something to regain our trust or some of us who chose to purchase this most-pricy variant will look elsewhere next time around.

Yeah, the rumor for a while has been that most CDs will just need reprogramming while some of the older ones will need that plus a new catalytic converter.
Something tells me that if it were really that simple, then it would have already been done. It has been seven months since this was announced and with only two official notifications from Porsche on this, that doesn't sound like they're being very communicative.
