I'm sorry to hear man. Sometimes these things just happen and there is just no other options that are viable. Hopefully you get your cash back plus some when you sell the car and you can get yourself something else that ticks all the boxes for you. It is sometimes so hard to part with these things, but everything happens for a reason.
Thanks for your kind words.
I do know that the suvs use a different box. The sportscars use a transaxle type transmission which incorporates the gearbox and differential in a single unit
Buy a manual Porsche. Owners seem to rave about these things.
You should push for a courtesy car, while you wait.
To be honest, I didn't ask. Anyway, I have a spare car, so not really necessary.
Glad to hear that it worked out.
Thats what the service advisor told me, all parts have a one year warranty. But you would expect a major part such as a gearbox to have a more generous warranty.
Running like clockwork so far. It's coming up for an interim service( did oil service last year along with that other issue). I've replaced the battery ( surprisingly the agents price was cheapest I could find).
My frunk struts also needed replacing - was done under Plan.
Ask Porsche Umhlanga to also provide a value. They do try to beat any offer.
Actually asked them when I did my last service. They didn't seem really interested. Basically telling me that I wont like their offer without even giving me a figure. Although the service is good at Porsche Umhlanga, there's no free lunches with them!
