Suggestion
6k Track miles is not the same as 24k miles total use, and really that note is a recommendation for those that use their cars on track a lot.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Car is currently in OPC for a tweak or 2, health check identified play in O/S/R wheel bearing, and a reminder that additional maintenance on these cars "subject to track use' is wheel bearings every 6k (?!?). My car has barely seen a track as far as I'm aware, should I be pursuing a warranty claim for this? I'd say any wear on a 24k car is somewhat premature.

POST 2Original post

Wear and tear parts aren't covered by the extended warranty, so think you'd have no chance going down that route. https://www.porsche.com/international/accessoriesa...

(lawsuit arse covering). It is not intended as guidance for the life of the part. That said - as Fnumber1user says - its a wear and tear part - so may not be covered under warranty. Definitely ask though. Also did you get a quote? Edited by TDT on Monday 21st August 11:43

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Waiting on them getting back to me. If they decide it’s a non warrantable job surely I can get my Indie to sort it?

POST 5Original post

Yep, hence worthwhile getting a quote from OPC if it’s not warrantable in any case
