Don't see how people call this a 1.3. Barely any changes and the increased wltp range is because of new summer tires. The e-shift is a gimmick. The pcm update is nice but that's probably just because they had no choice and not a major upgrade either.
I had it done and i feel like they just put some random stuff on it to charge more. One of the invoice lines was (it also had a typo in it): Initializing communicative systems 90 euro ex vat
I was charged for a 4 year / 60k kms inspection, and also charged for additional work every 60k kms.
This is just insane. I was told by my PC only selected vehicles will get the update as a test. They are not allowed to do it for everyone and they need approval from Germany.
Maybe they want some dealer visits first to make sure there are no issues and make changes if needed. And once everything goes well, roll it out as an OTA update to everyone
My car was at the dealer yesterday for the 4 years service. They told me they expect a software update mid August which will be OTA. How difficult is it to inform all dealers with the same information at once?
You can get the warranty in Germany but not Porsche Assistance. I don't know about the Netherlands, but in Belgium they are not allowed anymore to offer Porsche Assistance without the warranty. So if you get the warranty extension in Germany, you will need to get some other road assistance.
@PDAZ did you really expect Porsche to approve non official equipment and even install it for you? Especially since it's just some Chinese product. It's always at your own risk. I don't think anyone else would expect something different from Porsche.
I bought the Bosch A282H and it fits perfectly. You just need to take off the bosch connector and then you can just install it. It's indeed a little bit longer but that's not an issue and i only see a benefit. It's also alot cheaper.
Not sure if the ion i*cept is also seen as a true nordic tyre because it gets compared with the Michelin Pilot Alpin and Goodyear ultragrip performance by hankook.
@prj you might be confused with an other thread maybe because I didn't ask about a nordic tyre and it will be mostly wet weather. Snow performance is not that relevant for me.
I like the Hankook Ion Evo. I had them on my 20" wheels (after Michelin PS4) and just got them on my 21" and they are much quieter than the goodyear asymmetric 3.
