Hi all
For those of you who followed my noisy exhaust thread i finally made it out on track on Thursday (102dB) this time. Had an awesome afternoon out on track but had a worrying rhtymic rubbing noise coming from the brakes on the way home. Booked it in to OPC ***** this morning thinking i might have a warped disk or two, although a little bemused as to why after 2 10 minute track sessions. Porsche Centre comfirmed my wors fears and quoted £500 to skim them (which they strongly advised against based on how badly warped they were) so recommended new disks all round at £1900.
Thought i'd get a second opinion from a local brake specialist. After 90 mins of thorough testing and inspection they comfirmed the disks were fine. However the thin steel disks inside the two rear disks had distorted with the heat and was touching the back of the two rear disk, making the rubbing noise. A little finger pressure and it was back to normal all for £55 plus VAT. They also found a PDCC sensor hanging down right behind the rear near side disk due to a broken clip.
So not a happy camper with OPC ***** who will be getting a call tomorrow. Those of you thinking of taking your 991S on track beware of this plate overheating once parked and warping. Make sure you cool your brakes thorougly before parking up. Also worth checking the PDCC sensors are positioned correctly as the warning will reset once your cycle the ignition and will not return.
