My exhaust tips are still ok but I'm holding my breath! Are there any other GTS exhausts on this forum that's still ok? My car was the second deliverry to Leicester. June 2016. Just wondered if all GTS's have the fault or if it's later builds.
Mine are still fine from December delivery. How many miles have you done?
I am only on 750 miles and ok but again think the problem will happen and mine have been coated in Gtechniq C5 too.
Mine started to show signs of the speckling at around 1500 miles or c 1 1/2 months into ownership (December delivery)
Most surprising was that the OPC had no prior knowledge of the issue - 'haven't you heard from other owners?' I asked incredulously. 'Not a thing.' they said....
So I have to take it in to show them, when all I wanted was for it to be registered it 'on the system' until the issue had been resolved by Porsche. OPC said they would 'try to clean them first.' !
Due to health problems only 850 but I'm about to get it out of mothballs and use it at last. No coating on my tips but they have been waxed with R222 carnauba a few times.
My first set started to pit around 4,500 miles had them replaced and second set started circa 1,500 miles not mentioned it to my OPC but will when car has to go back in.
First set had Gtechniq treatment not sure that would account for difference.
2016 Sapphire GTS with 21 Black Classics.
2018 Sapphire GTS without Black Classics.
I got mine changed under warranty, about 800 miles in on second and so far so good.......
This happening an old A4 black edition (2006), replaced and 2nd set where fine until the day I sold it 8 years later. Buyer was one very happy scotsman - he got a mint car for a reasonable price
