Doug I know a deep quarry we used to scuba dive in we can meet at to troubleshoot your car. It's parking brake works OK correct?
Joking aside holy S$%T that is expensive. Is it the parts or labor that are the heavy hitters? I'd love to see the a pic of the quote if it is not too much to ask.
Cheers, Mike

This is the estimated repair from Fremont Porsche Fletcher Jones. There is no picture. Of course, it is a total bill when you get it fixed from Porsche. No fix the cost of fix is half of the car. It is time to trade-in.

Dropped my 22 TS off at the dealer this morning for AC problems. They said I should have it back by COB today. No call no car. Glad it is still under warranty.

Dealer called and said half my freon was missing but they can't find the leak.

Sorry to hear that. And so the ghost hunt begins. Glad it is under warranty for your sake also. will be interesting if the leak is in the evaporator core similar to Doug's car. Keep us posted - fingers crossed not too big an issue.
Cheers, Mike

The estimate is their way of saying they are not interested in the work. Get an estimate from an Indy. it makes economic essence to keep recharging yourself

Like justabout said, find an Indy mechanic. Just had the AC go out on my 2010 Panamera Turbo this summer. Bad compressor and condenser. Cost me around a grand.
