Anyway, next question is - as neither of the cats have been replaced (1999 V) does the other cat need replacing as well?

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Help Needed? Had my beloved 996 C4 Tip for 3.5 weeks and today received some bad news. My wife noticed a noise coming from the car 2 weeks ago on start-up. Just got back from the garage and they've told me one of the cats has gone - Ha! Rang Porsche and they told me that will be: Part cost aprox £500.00 plus VAT. Plus 3.5 hours of labour. TOTAL £930.00 incl VAT Now I got the car inspected 3 weeks ago and had it put under OPC warranty. Now I'm not going to attempt to try the warranty route as I'm sure this excludes the Cat. However, should they not have noticed this problem? Can't you tell when the Cat is about to go????? Anyway, next question is - as neither of the cats have been replaced (1999 V) does the other cat need replacing as well? Now my only saving grace is that I bought the car through a garage and so they should pick-up all costs. But should I insist its all done by Porsche since its under warranty or not. All suggestions gratefully received. Cheers Migration info. Legacy thread was 29075

POST 2Original post

As long as you can get it done for free, I'm not sure that the route makes a difference. Given the cost of a Porsche warranty, I'd have thought that might cover the cat... Worth trying. Migration info. Legacy thread was 29077

POST 3Original post

you will probably find that exhausts like clutches and batteries are a consumable item good luck Migration info. Legacy thread was 29081

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup - checked warranty and guess what. Specifically excludes the exhaust system. Question? Will the other cat likely fail very soon. If so should it be replaced at the same time? Cheers Migration info. Legacy thread was 29082
