Help Needed?
Had my beloved 996 C4 Tip for 3.5 weeks and today received some bad news. My wife noticed a noise coming from the car 2 weeks ago on start-up.
Just got back from the garage and they've told me one of the cats has gone - Ha!
Rang Porsche and they told me that will be:
Part cost aprox £500.00 plus VAT. Plus 3.5 hours of labour.
TOTAL £930.00 incl VAT
Now I got the car inspected 3 weeks ago and had it put under OPC warranty. Now I'm not going to attempt to try the warranty route as I'm sure this excludes the Cat. However, should they not have noticed this problem? Can't you tell when the Cat is about to go?????
Anyway, next question is - as neither of the cats have been replaced (1999 V) does the other cat need replacing as well?
Now my only saving grace is that I bought the car through a garage and so they should pick-up all costs. But should I insist its all done by Porsche since its under warranty or not.
All suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers
