PCNA Centrelock recall
Discussion

The last I heard which was around 2 weeks ago was the replacement centre locks should be in to Bristol OPC in December and they hope to get my car fixed at some point in December.
I do plan on calling Porsche this week to enquire about compensation again. As much as I love having my GTS as a static piece of art I would rather be driving it as well.
If anyone else is dealing with Bristol OPC specifically what have you been told?
My daily driver GTS Targa is at Bristol OPC since 1st November. I do plan on calling Porsche this week to enquire about compensation again. As much as I love having my GTS as a static piece of art I would rather be driving it as well.

Not asked for a loan car, figured something would go wrong and it will get scratched or something. Parts due first week December according to them.
I agree with the logic of compensation. Either it’s on finance ie cost or it’s cash ie earnings lost. Either way same thing.

Until I spoke to them yesterday I'd assumed everyone would get the same treatment - as they should.
It's my choice to finance it but I'd be surprised if the opportunity cost was 11%+ . If you're getting that then I'll have some too please
Most generic medium risk US based funds have given over 30% with up to 60% on more riskier stuff It's my choice to finance it but I'd be surprised if the opportunity cost was 11%+ . If you're getting that then I'll have some too please
Could those of you who have your cars collected, nuts changed and then returned to you please advise which OPC you're dealing with when it's done. As of yesterday the service manager at OPC Swindon emailed me to say that she wouldn't be in touch until January as they don't expect to get any replacement nuts until then. There is a wide disparity of timeline when you read through the posts. Thanks guys

Just bout a month now since the first signs of the stop drive notification and the communication has been very poor. Just a quick update on the situation would be good.
So we all leave our cars in garages gathering dust….i was expecting better to be honest
+1 here. I get some grumpy Gen Z'er who has zero interest in the issue or your opinions. So we all leave our cars in garages gathering dust….i was expecting better to be honest

Good post. We need to know which OPC’s are sorting this, and mention to Porsche, as we need to know what’s actually going on.I spoke with Porsche UK today regarding the compensation.
Each Porsche centre has been told to deal with it individually apparently. They can deal with it as they choose! I think this is wrong personally, they should be treating everyone the same.
With the above in mind perhaps when anyone gets offered anything they could let us know. So far we have not been offered anything from Bristol OPC.
They also said they are hoping to get every car fixed by the end of January but hopefully sooner.

I'm going to be slightly controversial here and whilst I completely accept the centre lock issue is far from ideal....
The timing is probably the best it could be.
I suspect many people with the higher end new centre look equipped cars would have them tucked up away for the winter and would be expecting limited use of the cars over the next few months anyway and have access to a second car. (Either their own or a OPC loaner) so bearing that in mind, any cash compensation is a pretty generous bonus
May I ask, is your car affected?The timing is probably the best it could be.

Hi All, Update as promised, my Turbo S was collected on Thursday afternoon and I picked it up with the new centre lock ‘nuts’ fitted on Friday. I’ll try and post a pic. Centre locks are marked “Centrelock lll” First one to be fixed by my OPC, who are prioritising based on usage I.e. Daily drives first, in storage for the winter last.
