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.

That has clearly failed, rather than “wear and tear”. I’d speak with your OPC first, if that fails there is always the ombudsman.
POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Hi all, I look to have a bit of a leak on both my front dampers as per the pics below. Car is a 718 GT4 and is only just over 4 years old with 15k on the clock. Has anybody else had similar and had luck getting this covered under warranty? The extended Porsche warranty does state that they don’t cover dampers as a result of wear and tear however surely they would be expected to last longer than this?

Doubt you will get any joy from Porsche. My GT3 dampers lasted less than 20k miles (996.2).
POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Hmm, that was what I was worried about. Any ideas as to how much something like this would typically cost labour wise at an Indy? Does seem strange that it’s so early and on both sides.

So if they are not covered… can you fit anything you like then?! Asking for a friend…
POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Haha, I think we both already know the answer to that however I will ask the question…

Porsche sell the units (inc top mounts springs etc) for about £1k a side inc vat and after pcgb discount. 98134303586 Cheaper than a new PASM mount!
POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
At least the PASM mounts are covered under warranty though! Any ideas on the typical book time for fitting?

Surely two front units should be in and out in a day? I’ve replaced mine quicker than that.

Take it to Center Gravity and get a perfect geo thrown in.

I have a go at warranty cover. 15k miles on a fairly new car cannot reasonably be classed as wear and tear. It's premature failure.
