Boxster wheel bearing

[GLF]

I have an 03 Boxster S (facelift) which needed a wheel bearing replaced after just 16,000 miles. This isn't covered by the Porsche warranty & Porsche have refused a goodwill claim. The mechanic helpfully told me that it was quite a common problem.

Is there a problem with the quality of components used by Porsche or am I just unlucky?

Has anyone else had any luck in persuading Porsche to contribute towards the cost?

Have you got opc warranty ?

have done quite a few of these and yes thay are prone to failure as early as you are claiming..!!

Had one go on my boxster at 30000 miles.
It made a right racket,horrible droning noise.

Got done under OPC warranty.
