Reported cause
Fixed under CPO: airbag warning light (driver's seat wiring harness) and new gauge cluster (rear spoiler malfunction traced to gauge cluster).
Leading evidence: 'gauge cluster)' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution).

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.

I'm getting a bit of a coolant leak from one of the hoses.
Called the dealer and got a "I'm not sure its covered" Bring it in and we can check it out. CPO only covers a limited number of parts.
Getting the sense I wasted my $$$ on the CPO. Will keep you posted.
Anyone had any experiences out there?
I'm almost at the two year point and have not used the cpo yet. So far I have done tires, battery, coolant tank. I'm gonna bring it for small oil leak in front of engine and clutch squeek, hopefully this will all be covered by the cpo.
Had a cam cover leak repaired, and Air-Oil Separator replaced. The AOS is probably a bitch DIY. Intake manifold apparently must be removed. 3 hrs labor, plus fresh oil fill.
The CPO is a limited warranty, but it will cover the major repairs.
Where can I start...new engine, cooling fans, coolant tank, exhaust leak, convertible top latch, 02 sensors, MAF sensors, thermostat, theres more, but thats off the top of my head....
Many times. Replaced the MAF, a $1,000 job for $0. New digital air con display for $0. I told them not to bother on the last bit, and they did it anyway...I think something else, just cannot remember.
Fixed under CPO: airbag warning light (driver's seat wiring harness) and new gauge cluster (rear spoiler malfunction traced to gauge cluster). The service advisor has access to the list of specific covered and not covered items, and there's a general list of coverage on Porsche's website. My dealer charges a $50 deductable per CPO covered service visit.
Are you in the USA? If so thats BS....there is no deductable....your dealer is pocketing the $$....PLUS getting paid from Porsche. I would either find another dealer as the warranty is valid anywhere, or tell them you won't pay the BS deductable.
Quote from the Posche website:
"In case of a problem, the comprehensive warranty covers 100 % of the costs for material and labor. Customers of the Porsche Approved Certified Pre-owned Program do not pay an excess."
Your dealer is getting over on you.
Newport -- Thanks. I was concerned about the "deductable". I'm in NV, and the closest other dealer is over 100 miles away. I'll give a call the Porsche "customer commitment".
RMS and the intermediate shaft bolts/seal, $0 under CPO.
I leased the car new from Porsche, then bought it at the end of the lease CPO. AFAIK, and as stated by the dealership, the CPO warranty covers exactly the same as the original. Unscrupulous dealers may tell you otherwise, but that's how it should be. If he charges you, ask him why, then take it up with the Porsche Regional Rep.
Wow - I must be lucky or something.
I have a 99 c2 and have never had a problem.
Clean the MAF every once in a while and change the oil as required.
I don't think I have ever taken my car to the dealer for repairs since I got it.
Pretty much an every day driver and low maintenance car

The CPO Warranty is definitely not an "extension" of the factory bumper-bumper warranty. It is a separate "limited" warranty with a very specific list of inclusions and exclusions which are listed in the CPO Limited Warranty booklet that you receive from PCNA.
Luva, I have used a couple...Porsche of Princeton and Porsche of Roslyn. The latter has a great service dept, but the sales crew is tough to love. I have also tried Pepe Porsche, and they didn't blow me away, hence I don't use them anymore. (some swear by Pepe, so it could just be me!) If you are using the dealer in the city, I believe anyone is a better option....
Pepe's service is great. Mark and the guys there always work to make sure you're satisfied. Just remember to agree on a price beforehand and you'll never have anything to complain about afterwards (when most people moan and groan about service costs). Also, if you have a PCA card, Pepe offers discounts on service and parts.
Refused under CPO: air bag light/buckle, hose leak, and some other thing i can't remember. I even called Porsche north america on the $800 air bag light and they said "not covered," so for me CPO gave only the illusion of peace of mind.
People indicated that since i purchased car (with CPO) from a non-local dealer, it was less likely that the local dealer would go my way on "gray areas". So, I would probably not go the CPO route in the future and instead pay for a good PPI and use the remainder of funds for mods.
Just to clear any misconceptions, there are no "grey areas" to speak of in regards to the CPO program. Every warranty repair has a damage code that specifies the exact work done and what the dealer should be paid. The CPO policies and procedures manual has a long list of applicable damage codes. If the code you need is in there, it's covered. No code, no coverage, no room for interpretation, even by the best dealers.
Yes Phaedrus (great name....Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, right?), that's correct, but some dealers will go OUT OF THEIR WAY to help you get some satisfaction (splitting the cost, eating labor, etc).
Not true. I have the receipt from PCNA through the dealer. It specificaly states "factory warranty extended to 100,000 miles or 6 years". Arguably, this was purchased in Feb 2005. But I highly doubt things could have changed in that short time.
Went to Pepe today.
Great shop and great service. Turned out I had a loose clamp. They took care of me right away and did not charge. True, PCA members get a discount.
I bought some parts.
I'm coming back soon for a suspension upgrade. They just won a loyal customer.
