PSCB: Slight scraping sound from front left wheel when in motion

[DerekS]

Happy result, everything is being covered as it should be.

SC might still be ok, I've actually had a great service history with them on my prior car.

But with all I've been through I wanted new blood, and so far I'm really happy with RWC.

well now you got almost brand new car with brand new brakes!

 

[freinando]

They are changing both pads and rotors I assume?

Yes. Today I learned they must be replaced together.

That appears to be the case. Note where it was delivered.

The selling dealership, as a CPO, should have refurbed these brakes. Again I'm going to assume a good-faith mistake at this point, and hope they make things right.

Can you ask for the CPO detailed report from the dealer who did the CPO, and see if one of the inspection points which the dealer claimed they did says brake inspection. If so, have them pay to re-CPO the car by the dealer you trust, since obviously the CPO they sold you was faked. This would of course include the new brakes you had to pay for, possibly other items you don’t know about yet.

So I was right all along
Same case for me, car was used for Porsche Trackdays. Yours do not look as bad as mine, but still the pads are cracked, and that's why it was making the noise. It's moving around there.

Great to hear that the dealer is taking care of you though.

Yep you were quite prescient! Since you were in the same boat, have you experienced any other issues with your tracked CPO car? Anything else I ought to have them check?

What a saga. It's as if you find out your wife had a secret life before she met you.

I had a slight gearbox whine on my Turbo S that changes with speed (bearing going out), but I traded it in before it became a larger issue. It would have been covered by warranty though. Other than that and the OBC going out my car was solid.

Yeah, this type of secret life:

Lol. Exactly my thoughts, but my misplaced PC prevented me from posting this!

I can’t say this is good news, but hopefully this is one and done, and we’re good from here on out.

It does make me wary of CPOs now, especially if the miles seem too good to be true.

@prj , do you think it takes special abuse to crack Porsche brakes in under 150miles of track use, or are Porsche cars not really built for track use? Fun commuter car and pretty garage decoration?

Under 100. All Porsches have around 10-12 from the factory and it had 105 when it landed in Ontario. 115 when I rolled it out.

They must have seriously punished the hell out of it to cook them like that in around 85-90 miles.
