Since my 5 week ownership of a 911, the two OPCs i've used so far have not been very impressive.
Leading evidence: 'Use so far have not been very impressive' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check clutch during rms replacement' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I am also going to have an early service at the same time, and probably replace the clutch if required when the RMS is being done.
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 am going to book my car in tomorow to get all issues sorted with it.
I have a list of problems with the car:-
1.Leaking RMS should be under wtty
2.Ignition Barrell should be under wtty
3.Exhaust Rattle not under wtty, needs welding (apparentley)
4.Noisy Diff needs checking, if faulty should be under wtty
I am also going to have an early service at the same time, and probably replace the clutch if required when the RMS is being done.
I will post my progress re OPC and what is covered under wtty, and if the wtty really is worth having.

Got mine booked in for a 24,000 service in a couple of weeks so the cheque book has hidden itself in anticipation. Also getting a 4 wheel alignment done which is an extra 2 hours labour, so £198 + VAT
At least £99/hour is less than Audi charge

Daz, don't take any crap off them, stamp your feet if you have to. All that should be covered under your waranty for sure.
Good luck.

Cardiff OPC,
Droping it off on Saturday morning, and leaving it with them while I am in Kenya.
I have asked them to undertake the following tasks:-
1. Leaking RMS
2. Check noisy diff on idle. Probably ok.
3. Check clutch during RMS replacement.
4. Check that the service book is stamped correctley.
5. 4 wheel alignment check.
6. New plastic wheel centres with C4S on them.
7. Paint the wheel nuts.
8. Weld the noisy exhaust brackett.
9. Check jamming sterring lock barell, and replace if fualty.
10. Tighten P/S Seat Rattling.
11. Commpresion test engine, using 1/2 litre of coolant every 1000 - 2000 miles.
I know that I am probably being very fussy regarding the car, however it represents a big investement for me, and I feel that it is worth keeping in tip top shape.
Of the items on the list, I expect the RMS, diff, str lock and compression test, and fault if there is one, to be covered under wtty.
I am expecting a bill approaching £1000 for all the other work, if the clutch requires replacing.
It will be interesting.
I have had the car since November and total spending on the car thus far:-
1. Purchase £45,000
2. Service £650
3. Ext Wtty £730
4. Tyres £650
5. Tyres £650
6. Insurence £650
7. Consumables £100
Total Spending to date £48,430
Milage on purchase 14,200
Milage now 22,000
Expected value at the moment:-
1.Trade In £40,000
2.Private £42,500
3.Trade £39,000
4.OPC Price £47,500
These are my figures, so I might be wrong, however I keep a close eye on the classifieds.
If I was to sell it, it would require about £500 of painting to get it perfect, stone chips on the PU etc.
So to date if I was to sell it as a perfect car privately, assuming I could find a buyer then I would be looking at a loss of £6,430 for the first 8000 miles of ownership.
However I do realise that some of the costs reflect a years motoring and only 5 months have passed since purchase.
Just thought it would be interesting to calculate the cost of living with a Porsche 911 every day.

Hi Daz,
I think the OPC price would be £50,000 plus. With your low milage and spec.Referencing all the OPC prices and what I paid. Still able to sleep at night just about!
On the whole Cardiff have been good to me so far compared to what I have read here about other OPC's.
My beast is due in for some snags from purchase, nothing serious, ie window cord, new key needs programming, interior detail, but have been reassured all will be sorted.
Have to say as a newbie done 500 miles in her and coming back from derby yesterday solid and planted, should have bought sooner.
Cheers Alan.

i'm interested in the results of this too. good luck with OPC.
Since my 5 week ownership of a 911, the two OPCs i've used so far have not been very impressive.

Ok a qick update,
I phoned the OPC on Friday and the gearbox was out and the RMS being attended to.
The car should be ready tomorow with a PSE exhaust fitted, however no switch, and the reason for that is because that means it doesnt go quiet between 30 - 45mph.
Can be fitted easily if I want it in future.
I was in the air today when the OPC rang three times, and had a text to tell me that they had rung several times, so I do hope they were ringing me to tell me that the car was ready and not to advise me of problems.
They told me on Friday that the RMS would be covered.
I will find out tomorow, really looking forward to the PSE.

Understand fully why you feel so P****d off.
Take a deep breath count to 10, then go and thump something.
Seriously sorry to hear the tale of woe.
Migration info. Legacy thread was 55271
Sorry to hear that Daz, I think you'r problems are not because of the cars, but the OPC. You're right, as Rob would agree, that Ext Wtty is a waste of money.
Migration info. Legacy thread was 55272
Daz, that is rubbish. Your OPC sound awful. How come the radiatros aren't covered under warranty? I can understand that the flywheel isn't, but at 22K miles it shouldn't need changing.
Sorry.
