987 at OPC...AGAIN
I have just had to take my 987 back toMid SUssex OPC again, this is about the 6th time in the 18 months I have had the car, on average once every 3 months.
The failure this time?? A seat airbag harness has shorted resulting in a warning on the dashboard. It will require a seat removal followed by a new airbag wiring harness for the seat.
Other issues have been, window one touch failure, rattle on engine at 2100 rpm when cold, exhaust mounting recall, CD player refuding to work, and a few other electrical glitches.
Now, I love my car, however when the warranty runs out in September of this year, its less than reliable history is leaving me in fear of the potential bills if it continues its run of form.
This constant in and out of the OPC for niggly little electrical issues is leaving my Porsche ownership experience severly depleted. Whilst the car has never 'Broken down' and left me stranded, it is constantly requiring dealer attention for one electrical glitch or another.
What to do. My Pounds1600 Ford Escort estate doesn't require this sort of attention and my previous VW only ever visited the dealer once in 3 years.
I expected more from Porsche and I find Porsche is ruining my ownership experience.....particulalry as I am driving a dirty old Saab 93 at the moment. They even tried to charge me for insurance until I kicked off.
