Waiting for parts

[dmermans]

Four weeks ago, the telltale light on the brakes came on. I was allowed to visit immediately for a diagnosis. The rear brake pads were worn and could be replaced the very next day. The Porsche centre called me that the discs also had to be replaced because they were worn out. My Turbo is an early 2020 model and the tungsten carbide coating on the brakes is coming off. I have already had the front discs replaced. I didn't feel like arguing & authorised replacing them. The replacement will take a day longer, no problem I'll cycle to the dealer tomorrow then. Phone from the dealer there is a leak found on the front brake line and the brake lines are replaced under warranty and I get a replacement car, Macan/Dyson. After four weeks of waiting, there is still no telling when the brake lines will arrive. Surely putting a set of flexi pipes in a box and sending them can't be that hard.



I want my car back!

How many km’s have you driven your car to need so many brake parts replaced? Both pads and discs on a 2020 model sounds very early.

There is multiple cases of the coated brakes wearing out way too early. I've seen at least a handful complain here in Denmark (And that is a quite small market).

It should really be addressed by Porsche - The steel brakes seems to last fine.

80.000 on the front
115.000 on the rear

Yikes....I love my tungsten carbide brakes, but this could be a real deal breaker.
