Long overdue update
I've been keeping up with the thread but not doing so well keeping my blog updated. Sorry!
I've mostly been in a holding pattern waiting on Aristocrat/Porsche to accept that the cam timing problem was actually a manufacturing defect that they needed to remedy. IA notified Aristocrat of the problem as soon as the motor was in my car and running, and before I took delivery on MARCH 23RD...
They FINALLY had a qualified mechanic available to check the car out starting on Tues April 29th. Do the math on that response time... C_R_A_P...
The Aristocrat leadership sat down with IA on Friday May 2nd and admitted that the motor did in fact have a cam timing problem, that it was a manufacturing defect and that they were going to fix it though they used the words "work it in" whick clearly doesn't imply much urgency...
Unfortunately my read seems to be right...I appreciate that they are going to do the right thing and fix it but Aristocrat doesn't seem to be in any real hurry to finish the repairs and just yesterday (tues May 6th) a local CC member reported to me that they had seen my car just sitting out back... Its now been well over a MONTH since they were first notified of the problem and the car's been in their hands for more than a week now. Grrrr....
