My 987 is soon to go for its first 20k service and after trying to trawl through numerous posts to find others' experiences of 987 faults, foibles and fixes I thought it might be an ideal to start a thread to summarize this important topic to ensure that all recall and warranty items are identified.
So to kick off, my fault list includes:
§ Squeaking brakes under light pressure "" OPC known issue
§ Air vent positioning clip has fallen out "" OPC known issue
§ Clear stone chip cover on rear wheel arches with air bubbles
§ Horn has been castrated!
§ Rough engine note on idle
§ "˜Pumping/tapping' noise on overrun when cold
Other faults gleaned from forum:
§ "˜2100' engine rattle "" not noticed this myself
§ Leather seats prone to wear
I'd be very interested to hear how Porsche have approached these faults elsewhere; especially the brake problem as the Reading OPC said they didn't have a fix for this yet and I'm a little suspicious that a new set of pads at my expense will be the cure!
