Service update after 43K -
05 997S 43K 8/04 delivery - Service update, some good info.
After my recent battery replacement (under warranty) my Sports Chrono light would not go off (not good at night when you are not using it) so I scheduled a visit. At around the same time my raised rear brake light showed a warning/error and my drop links (front) seemed a little noisy.
Long story short - the Chrono was fixed via a software setting (low voltage may have blitzed the CMOS), the rear brake light water seal had leaked and some wiring has been corroded and will need to be replaced - warranty will take care of this.
The drop links are an early style which has been updated by the factory. All four corners will get the new design installed as soon as the parts are in, again under warranty.
The purpose of this post was to point out potential battery problems if voltage gets too low, water leak issues around the raised rear brake light and the availability of a fix for noisy drop links in early 997 Porsches. My car is a launch car so I can not tell you when the new drop links were introduced.
The dealer really came through... nice
(perhaps he has been reading this forum, we have the power)
Cheers,
Drive Right
