Hi All and welcome back to life In Motion!
Having owned my #porsche 718 Cayman GTS for a little over a year, and having covered roughly 12,000 miles, I was extremely surprised to be recommended work costing over £3,000!
As you may already know, I’m always careful with my cars, keeping them in the best condition I can. That doesn’t only cover cosmetics, I ensure that I’m always up to date with servicing and that wear and tear items like tyres are good to go.
In this video, I explain how something I assumed would be a quick fix become a huge bill!

Check these guys out, Friendsgreen Porsche!
'Stealers' at it again!
Very interesting, I presume your car had the Porsche 111 check prior to purchase, hence the Porsche warranty, but that begs the question why all the issues. At this time I am looking for a 981 Cayman, and was seriously considering a Porsche approved, as the advertising Porsche use suggests the cars are like new, ie brake discs/pads in excellent condition, I will now have a rethink and go the Indy route. I was also put off by having to pay for Porsche to examine the car to see if the work fell under the warranty, I previously owned a BMW M240 which had an exhaust issue, looked at by Lloyds BMW (NO CHARGE) fixed under warranty. So thank you for the heads up, hope you get this situation resolved.
The true cost of ownership..I'm looking at an M2 or M4..2016-2018..still under warranty though..going to be expensive for the warranty extension..but have to go that route.
Unfortunately some of the Porsche official dealers are part of larger car groups ie Jct600, Sytner, Lookers etc and look at cars as a cash cow.
Please keep us updated! Also have a cayman, similar age and kms as you and want to be prepared for a potential discussion with them! Also, get a washer liquid which can withstand minus temps!
Obviously you need to order a new exhaust system now lol
Wild!
Thought about using an independent Porsche specialist for servicing?
