Okay so there are no pictures provided if the inside on the protection plate itself got it. However they definitely removed the plate or you would have a picture of the coolant line being damaged. Again I would imagine there would be no data do to it being physical visual damage. Unless you are...
I did not see any of the inside of the plate. There are pics of the outside dent and the dent in the cooling line. None of the part of the plate that actually contacted the cooling line. That is what I want to see.
I am still confused about this data?? Is it possible that they caught this before it became a major issue? Has the dent always been there? You said Porsche has a spec of >3mm in the center. Their tech measured the dent and found this to be an issue that much is clear.
I think you are...
Hey you better be careful with this kind of talk! You may be a spy from the pesky Tom Wood Porsche out of Indiana!
As I stated from my original comment I am not worried at all about my Taycan. To me this means that they care more about the performance and safety of these vehicles. Sure the...
You go right ahead and do whatever you want lol. Doesn't effect me in anyway. I will sleep soundly in my bed and hey if you get any traction I will laugh while reaping the benefits. Yet I live in the real world.
Damage to a vehicle caused by normal use would get beat in a court room 9 times...
Sure that may be your experience with your dealer. But that dealer's tech is going to send their quote to that dealer's parts department. Who will then get their prices and part numbers from whatever catalog they use. Likely something specific to Porsche. It doesn't make sense that they would...
I completely agree with you here. Some where Porsche has decided due to whatever witchcraft that this is a serious issue and warrants replacement. I believe too many commenter's are getting hung up on the idea that 3mm is too small a dent. Porsche seams to have that spec for a reason.
Whether this plate is made of steel or aluminum does not make a difference to my statement. Workable metals will stretch and deflect when impacted. This is a fact of the world. Do you know how much harder you would have to hit a steel plate to create a permanent 3mm dent?? Waaayy harder than...
Okay triggered much??? This can be answered quite simply.
To your first question. As explained by the OP the vehicle originally went in for a different repair. Likely got the loaner then.
The damage was found during a FREE UV eye scan. So now that the damage has been flagged the dealer has...
I just answered this in a different reply. Here you go again with this 3mm tiny dent can't mean big problem. Especially when the OP posted a picture of a clearly damaged cooling line...
You and many others keep saying "minor ding" but I don't think you know what that means.
Many metals are flexible and have give to them. They don't just shatter or break "we call this brittle". Aluminum is one such flexible and durable metal.
When that >3mm dent is made it wouldn't have been...
I wish!! According to many comments running a dealer is over the top profitable!
So one comment that doesn't "step in line" and I am somehow involved in this??? What a joke lol.
Of course this is something that interests me. Pointing fingers and blaming others for something you did is great drama and worth a bucket of popcorn ?.
I normally don't get involved in these types of discussions, however this one really got under my skin. So I decided to make an account to...
Having now read this entire thread I am left with no worries when it comes ownership of my Taycan.
It seams to me that many individuals in this thread are jumping to conclusions and do not understand how an OEM dealership functions compared to a mom and pop shop. From the OP's own admission the...
