I have a constant bit of water in my turn signals in the front of my 2 year old turbo. Went by the dealer and they said that they are going to replace the turn signals (in the grill). Quite surprised that they do not fix this under warranty! Would replacement fix this issue? They are not broken in any way, so I guess that replacing them would not make a huge difference?

Regards, frank

That's my thought as well!

Dealer told me otherwise! I have have the full extended warranty! they told me that this wasn't covered by insurance.

Not quite sure what to do now?

TSB 10/04 W424 W424 – Modifying Ventilation of Main Headlights (Workshop Service Action) -- dated 9-24-04
"This is to inform you of a voluntary Workshop Service Action on certain 2003, 2004 and 2005 model year Cayenne (V6), Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo vehicles. Due to improper ventilation, there is the
possibility that the cover lens of both main headlights could fog on the inside.

To remedy the situation, a conversion must be made to the ventilation of both headlights.

We ask that the aforementioned procedure be performed on the affected vehicles listed below during the Porsche Owner’s next visit to your workshop.

Affected Vehicles: A total of 28,697 U.S. and 1,612 Canadian vehicles fall within the scope of this Service Action."

Hi Loren,

Thanks for the reply. Do you think that this also counts for the turn signal lights in the front grill of the '08 turbo?

Regards, frank

TSB does only address headlights. But water in turn signals of a MY08- sorry but that is a warranty item.
Hard to believe they would deny that claim. Any other dealers/OPCs close?

Called the representative of the importing company and he confirmed that it is a warranty thing. Het caller my dealer and this guy called me back claiming that he had 'old software' on het desktop. This software claimed that this was not a warranty thing. The new software shows this as a warranty item. Lot's of b.s. about bumper to bumper warranty.

At least they covered it!

Frank.
