actually,I just called that number on the card mind numbing recording reminded me of calling the IRS I left my name and number not much hope for callback(or refund)
wasn't the hearing suppose to take place in March?
The hearing did take place on March 10, with a Final Order issued in favor of the Agreement on March 19th. A copy of the Final Order is on the Settlement website: http://coolantpipesettlement.com/docs/fao.pdf.
Of course, the Final Order is also subject to a possible appeal, so all that has to play out before any payouts would be made. But it looks promising so far.
Ironically,I actually got a call back(last week) from someone at Porsche related to coolant pipes settlement. They verified that they had received my submission/request for settlement/reimbursement(so I at least took that as good). They also acknowledged that the settlement was also subject to appeal(which I quickly responded with why screw around with your client base related to faulty design) and he quickly went back into "don't shoot the messenger " I guess I don't know (when?) and (if?) I will get check but I at least know I'm on the records!
New member here. Just bought a 2005 turbo. Will change Cardan shaft and coolant pipe this weekend (friend mechanic). Will they know who to send the notification card too or file directly to the website? Thanks
Received a postcard today reminding me to file before the deadline of December 12, 2014.
Ditto. ALL the paperwork I've gotten has the 2014 date on it. It would have seemed just a bit odd if the last date was in 2013 since the settlement wasn't reached until March 2014.

One person did file an appeal. She is an attorney in Idaho, I believe, who apparently feels she was unfairly treated by her local dealer and PCNA when the coolant pipes failed on her '05 CTT.
Lawyers for The Class and lawyers for Porsche jointly asked the district court (which had previously approved the settlement over this lawyer's objections and after giving her a hearing and which retains jurisdiction to set an appeal bond) to set a high appeal bond. In an order dated 6/30/14 the district court declined, on specific legal grounds, to set a high appeal bond as requested.
It is interesting that the court noted "[Her] position in this dispute appears to be that she is acting in good faith because she is an attorney who wishes to protect the class from what she perceives to be an unfair settlement. Meanwhile, however, the remaining class members - approximately 5,800 of whom have already filed claims for payment under the settlement agreement and none of whom have consented to have [her] represent them - cannot receive payment under the settlement agreement until [her] appeal concludes."

I am new to the forum.... long time performance car enthusiast looking at picking up a '05 Cayenne S, 46k miles, same owner last 6 years, paperwork from authorized Porsche dealer for coolant pipe fix, coils and drive shaft jobs - and clean car fax. Any basic reactions from more experienced Cayenne owners on maintenance / reliability after these 3 items are fixed?
my 04 CS i bought a month ago had 8 broken coils so i used the opportunity to lift the intake collector to see if mine already has the alu coolant pipes.
to my suprise i saw this:
correct me if i'm wrong but i think mine has been done already!
saves me a lot of money that i had planned to use for them alu pipes.
i have no idea how that happened, car has never been looked after, original coils still there. Car has only 45 k miles. Nevertheless i'm very happy, tomorrow new coils ar egoing in together with NGK spark plugs. I'm going to be a happy cruiser!
