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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys, The remote function to open the bonnet on the keyfob isn't working. Locking is working fine. Phoned porsche warranty this morning and they say it is wear and tear and is not covered. I argued that in the Warranty handbook it says central locking and all electrical switches are covered. She then said I will have to take it to porsche for an inspection and they will have to ring with a part number as they can only work from part numbers. Anyone any experience of this? I don't want to pay for an inspection if it is not covered by warranty as I will just open the bonnet from inside the car. Also any experiences of Porsche Sheffield? I am taking mine for a major service next week (5 years). Thanks Vron

POST 2Original post

Vron, Sorry, not a direct response to your thread... I've a 6 yr old C4 cab and I was unaware that the key fob could open the bonnet. Is this only available on the Coupes perhaps? Thanks.

POST 3Original post

Nope. Works on the Cab as well. Of the three buttons, one locks and unlocks the car, one opens and closes the roof and the third opens the nose.

POST 4Original post

This is only on the facelift 2002 model. I would say argue the point for a new key

POST 5Original post

I agreed, i would imagine it would be covered. however, my remote function stopped working recently, not covered under Porsche Warranty unfortunately. Good luck anyway.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
