This time it appears some complete lug nut fitted some of the cars with left handed threaded towing eyes, when the tapped hole on the car is actually right handed. :roll:

What on earth is going on with this legendary German engineering excellence?

School boy quality control issues.

Still, at least it’s only swapping a bit of steel in the boot...no computers to bugger around with!😉 (and by default, bugger up!)

Nice thought Simon, but I can’t see swapping a towing eye out of the boot taking more than, say, 3 minutes.....if that😉

Aww, shame! Given all the hassle that Smithy has had, I would have thought that the least they could do is to loan him a 911 for a day, in addition to unlimited coffees and pastries! ;)

They’re collecting the car tomorrow from my work & returning once done. I’ve not asked for a loaner as it would push the appointment back. It should only be a quick fix. :lol:

They’ve invited me (the dealer) to Silverstone on the 28th for a 718 & Cayenne driving morning. Me & a guest. I’ve taken them up on the offer.
Still love the car, even with its ongoing PCM idiosyncrasies.

Why don't they just post you a new towing eye with the correct thread?
