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.

Unfortunately, the Porsche OEM steering wheel that I installed in February of 2011 has "cracked" in the aluminum-look portion. This is very frustrating. I've been very happy with the product, until now. I contacted the seller (a Porsche dealer) to see if they can help. I would expect that there is some kind of warranty, but I'm not sure. I still have my old leather steering wheel, so I may have it recovered and reinstall it. We'll see if the dealer can do anything with Porsche. When I bought it, it was the only one available in the US. I suspect they'll have to order another from Germany if they are able to replace it for me.
Very frustrating...
OEM Porsche parts have a warranty of 2 years. I believe all tequipment parts have the same warranty. Porsche should come through on this and replace it.
That's not a cheap wheel, suprised that happened.
I just heard back from Sunset Imports in Oregon, where I bought the product. There is a two year, unlimited mileage warranty on Porsche Tequipment parts. My local dealer can replace it. I'm headed to my dealer today to order the replacement!
I have no idea. The car is garaged, so I can't imagine it cracked because of sun exposure. I'm really not sure why it happened. FWIW, the leather and wood steering wheel in our Cayenne still looks perfect after 8 years of use...
It has been a long time, but the new leather and aluminum-look steering wheel was installed today under warranty at Prestige Imports in Denver. Yes... it really took that long. Apparently there were none of them to be had anywhere in the world in aluminum-look and natural brown leather. A new one had to be made by the vendor in Germany. In any case, it's here and it's installed and I'm a happy camper!
My guess was the defective wheel was made by a "vendor" for Porsche Tequipment and unfortunately was made poorly. good to hear P got you a new SW. Just keep an eye on it for any signs of poor craftsmanship.
To hell with the 996 interior. I see those all day on this board. I want to see more of that toasty garage interior!
Beautiful wood-panel garage door; anally organized pegboard tool storage. What else is there?
Beautiful interior Dennis (both the car and garage). Sorry to hear about the weather. Heading to Winter Park in mid-Jan. Hope it warms up just a bit by then.
Regarding the pedals, are those the ones where you drill the holes yourself? I have been thinking about those as well.
Yup. You have to drill for the brake and clutch pedals. I believe the gas and dead pedals allow you to simply attach the new pedal with screws only, no drilling required.
Don't be sorry about the weather - it has been awesome! We got a huge dump of snow, including the major ski resorts in the area. I think I'm going to leave work early tomorrow and go up to Breck.
Wheel looks great Dennis thanks for the pic. BTW I love Breck and have been there many times. Might go back this year also. The snow sucked so bad last year I have withdrawals.
Last year was the worst year in Breck in 25 years. The base there is already bigger than it was all of last year. I can't wait to get back out there. I've only been to Keystone so far this year.
