So I've had my 991 flat bedded away for the second time in 2 weeks and I'm starting to wonder what is happening to the Porsche marque?

It was in for 1.5 weeks as they were so busy. It's gone back again today and I've been warned it might not be back until mid to late October - because they have had such a huge spike in cars being delivered through failures.

Anyone else on here suffering?

A 520d estate. So basically a like for like car (not).

On the upside it was only registered yesterday so spanking brand new. I haven't driven it much yet but it's a nice place to sit - if rather dull to drive.

So the first instance was a cooling system failure which ended up being vacuum system related. At the same time I was getting a squeak when engine turned off. I paid for a belt to be changed - After a couple of days the squeak has started again but now it's also on start up. Porsche assist (aa) turned up and said not to drive and flat bed away. He thought it sounded like a metal on metal sound - to be it reminds me of a worn bearing/motor sound. I will wait patiently.

Well it’s still not back and now they have replaced the whole exhaust system under warranty which is a huge result.

Waiting patiently.....
