Hi Guy’s,
I have raised this thread as I would value your comments/feedback.
Firstly let me give you some background on my car, I have C2S Gen 2 (PDK) which is just 8 years old, the car has been maintained by Porsche dealerships from day one and has had several 111 point checks and always serviced/maintained by Porsche + it’s still under warranty.
This week I decided to let my local Porsche dealership carry out the MOT has they have been inspecting the car in the past (PCGB Clinic) and routine servicing which is right up to date. When I arrived I had the usual pleasantries and was told that the technician carrying out the work was very experienced and had won several awards in the past ?
My car passed the MOT but to my horror and amazement I was shocked to see two write ups on the advisory notices. The one that really gets me is that this guy had issued an advisory for what I believe is way over the top and have never experience in over 50 years of owning cars, or known anyone that had received such an advisory. I have an Engineering background and in my younger years worked on many cars overhauling and rebuilding engines/gearboxes etc, I am retired now but that’s by the by, anyway the advisory write up stated that the Macpherson struts/spring/ spring cups have slight corrosion "but has not seriously weakened"
The other advisory that was written up was that the fuel filler cap seal was showing signs of cracking, I inspected the seal when I got home and the seal where it locates is fine it’s only the outer edges that have some minor cracking. I would have thought any good dealership would have just told me over the counter to replace when I get the chance and not written this up, so as you can imagine I am somewhat disappointed with this dealership and I am not sure I want to every use them again for any work and certainly not for an MOT. Sorry about the long winded thread but I felt I needed to get it off my chest with other Porsche owners as I would be very interested in your comments ?
Regards
Pete
