First post, so please go easy on me!
I bought a very clean 2010 997.2 3.6 Carrera in January after looking for some time for the right car. It was a private sale and came with 22 months Porsche warranty.
I had to put it into the local dealer for a hard reset on the tracker; this didn't solve the issue so the unit is going to be changed under the warranty.
They carried out a health check whilst it was with them and said that one of cat heat shields needs to be changed. This is presumably the source of a tinny rattle that can be heard at times.
I am happy to do this myself but just wondered what sort of job this is. Anything bolted to, or near, the exhaust is normally rusted and liable to shear bolts on removal. Is this the case with these shields?
Thanks for any advice.
