Magic self-repairing rear lights!

[New Trout]

I had my 911.1 in for an service with Porsche on Monday.

I got one of those automated updates of advisories. The big ticket item being to replace the rear lights. I called Porsche to ask why the rear lights needed replacing and the response was that they were suffering from water ingress.

Great! I say, the car is under warranty, so please go ahread and replace them.

Magically the rear lights suddenly did not need replacing after all.

It's a miracle.

Haha, what a miracle indeed!

I had my Porsche in last August for the big 12 yr service and warranty extension. The head unit was dropping the bluetooth connection. They tested and tested it and I think I was fortunate to have a good service agent. Replaced the whole head unit with a brand new one. At least I got more than my warranty extension costs returned.

What makes it funny is I shortly thereafter installed Mr12Volt and have never used any features of the new head unit

Years ago, a mate had a then new 996 Turbo. The tiny spring in the SIM card slot (ask your parents kids) broke. OPC couldn’t/wouldn’t access the interior of the PCM to change the spring. Replaced the entire PCM unit under warranty.

Ok, it was my polo, not my 911 but

Was in for a service

"needs a new sump as the sump plug thread is stripped, £350. Can't fix it any other way"

"has it been hit ?", "No, just been cross threaded when screwed back in"

"ok, as you are the only people who have ever touched it, you broke it, you fix it"

Magically, it was suddenly repaired.
