OK, I did 1000 track miles 2 weeks ago. After the replaced the trans cooler valve and O2 sensor the CEL was gone, no problems on the track at all.
I drive it 200 miles on the road to work and back and while sitting at a traffic light the CEL comes on
I drive straight to Champion.
Problem 1: We won't look at the car unless you pay for $100 1 hour of labour because "all the mods". I told the service advisor I'm not paying the car has no mods, except final exhaust because I figured they prefer not to replace Ti final exhaust every 3k miles. I'm sensitive that way.
Problem 2: They put me in a 8' by 8' office with service manager, advisor and chief mechanic. Felt like an intervention the way they were shaking hands with me.
"Your catalytic converter is bad, but we want to show it to factory rep, because you have white rings around your tailpipe and that indicates race fuel."
- I say I never used anything then Shell or Mobil 93. Every GT3 has white rings...
- Why would they want to show my car to factory?? We all know it's tracked, it just invites problems! Factory pays, I don't need the "your car is tracked bullshit". See every promo movie Porsche made of RS. On Track.
Crazy talk. Ready to kill someone.
- Instead I told them to send cat in and no problem. The only day my car WON'T be at Champion is tomorrow when factory rep is there!! No go.
End of story is that I had to bring my car to Champion Mortorsports (Great people) for (possibly warranty) repair and rent a freaking Chevy Malibu that someone vomited in on my own money.
You really get some service when you pay $150K for a car....
Was thinking about a Cayenne Turbo S for wifey, but I think I will stick with the MB V12TT for a while. Those guys are awesome with warranty work. No worries and MB's as loaner cars.
