First Service Tomorrow........

I dropped off the 'Yellow Peril' at Porsche GB Headquarters Reading this evening (They have 24 hour Security and you can arrange to drop your car off at any time).

Heaven knows what they will make of all the modifications.

I asked them to do a service 'light' General Check..........

I have only done 6,550 miles and already changed the Oil/Filter Twice and also the Brake Fluid Twice......... No Windscreen wiper change, No Cabin Air Filter (I have 3 spares in my garage and will change myself at 10,000 miles).

I did ask them to do the Trunk Clunk Fix. Here they refused even though I sent them the works details and part number last week when I booked it in. They told me they had to take the whole car apart...... I told them not to touch it just do what I asked and if it did not solve it Never mind....

I did also ask for the Vacuum Servo Assist Pump to be checked out, as at low speed stop start traffic, I have had the stiff brake pedal = No Braking on 3 occasions and I can replicate this when going downhill....... Foot off Accellerator (Engine Going) brake lightly until no vacuum assist left.

I also asked for the Airbag Warning light to be turned off as my New seats do not have the thorax airbags.......
Initially they said they would not do this as it is a safety feature...... I explained that it was a 'false warning' because there were no airbags on my nice new racing setas..... and I wanted the airbag fault to advise me if there really was a fault in the other bags - After explaining this several ways the service manager still did not understand......

I'll report back and keep you posted of the rubbish I expect to hear from them!
