Front brake pipe replacement - Porsche want to charge over £3000
GTF1 replied to GTF1's topic in 997-2 TT, 997 GT2 RS
Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate your input and am relieved and surprised at the same time - relieved that I am being told the true facts by Porsche UK but surprised that so much work is required for just a bit of tubing. If I had designed such a layout I would have been sacked in my industry but I guess my priorities are vastly different to a car manufacturer and the potential monies to be made from routine maintenance. As a college recently mentioned, Audi start to appear significantly more attractive. Regards -
I have a 997.2 Turbo that is in for a service in the UK. The front brake pipes are corroded and need to be replaced, including the link pipe across the back of the fuel tank. The following is a list of items Porsche tell me they need to remove in order to push the pipe into 2 clips to secure it:- Remove front differential remove Cardin shaft Drain coolant, remove coolant pipes, then refit and fill system on completion drain the fuel tank remove both drive shafts remove steering rack remove the subframe and lower the petrol tank then they can clip the pipe into place and reinstall all the above. I have called Porsche UK who advised to contact Porsche Germany. They in turn advised me to contact Porsche UK. I have now contacted Porsche Uk again and am waiting for their feedback. it’s seems ridiculous to me that all the above work is required just to push in a pipe into a clip. I would have expected the floor pan to be unbolted and dropped to allow access. It would be very much appreciated if anyone who has had this brake pipe replaced to advise how they did it, or better still, have a Porsche procedure for this work. Thanks very much for any information that you could provide. Regards
