Guys
I have just had a major engine failure on by Cayman, year 55, with 80,000 miles on the clock. It has been service on the dot by a Porsche main dealer all its life, and all items have been fixed on the spot, as and when required. In fact I have just spend £3000, on a new water pump, heater servo motor, and cabin Fan + Service.
The worst bit was that I was driving down the Kings Road at 2 MPH at about 6.30pm Friday, and the car disapeared in a cloud of smoke. The good news was that I was able to stop immedately and call a tow truck.
The engine is out and the guys tell me that the oil seperator has completely failed, filling one bank of cylinders with oil, so head off and check for damage etc, not a good way to go. Anyway its been replaced, and the bill is £3K not the £9K for a whole new engine, thank goodness. Porsche will not pay any good will as the motor has 80K on it, disapointing as you would expect.
You thoughts?
Regards
William
