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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, my 2004 996 c4s - full Porsche service history had a new clutch fitted (porsche reading) and porsche reading told me that there was a coolant leak through the split crankcase going through engine. To rectify £7,500 as i had a gold warranty with warranty wise contacted them - first time declined the work as not catastrophic failure - I told them doesn't state this in the warranty and porsche said was covered in the warranty - i supplied porsche with the warranty documents - w/wise sent assessor who said was meterlurgical and was a progressive fault - therefore w/wise said not covered - again nothin in the warranty against this not being covered! Porche have said as meturlurgical - manufacturing fault will do the job for £3,500 as a goodwill gesture - the car has only done 48K and well looked after..... looks like i will have to go to court here.... do i take both of them to court? I think the warranty should cover it - i have £10K max per claim - I also thought Porche would be a better buy than this? Had the motor 7 months....any thoughts much appreciated :?:

It will cost you £3-5k to deliver a case which unless your laywer says has at least a 70% chance of winning carries a lot of risk. The problem with court is that it can sometimes be an unpredictable place. Best thing to do is send the lawyers letters first(2-£300) as sometimes this can add clout to your cause.
