I just looked at the Porsche emblem and sure enough, there is a tiny hole just as you described. It’s in the black portion of the emblem and I couldn’t see it until I aimed my high powered flashlight on it. Many thanks!
-
Just an update - I was able to remove the cap from the outside by using two very tiny jewelers screwdrivers and very carefully prying the cap off until I could fully remove it with my finger. Didn’t scratch the rim at all. Sorry to have bothered everybody.
-
On subject rim, is it possible to remove the center cap that has the Porsche logo on it without removing the wheel or does the wheel have to come off the car and the cap removed from the inside by “pushing” it out? Car is 08C2S. Thanks
-
Have an 08C2S with factory 19” rims - 10 spoke (I think they’re called “sport” but I could be wrong). Anyway, the outer lip which I believe is polished, appears to have a factory clear coat and it seems mine might have got nicked by a tiny rock when driving and I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to touch up the clear coat with some clear coat type of paint? Thanks in advance😊

Lug Bolt Torque Spec

Thanks as always Loren! -
Isn’t the factory recommended torque spec on 08C2S stock 19” rims 90 ft. lbs.?
-
Best USA source for TPM sensors. Have an 08C2S. Prefer OEM but would appreciate comments if others have used aftermarket with positive results. Thanks in advance.

Macan Headlights

Thanks Loren! -
Considering a 2018 Macan. Are the headlights LED or Xenon? Thanks in advance.

Wondering if anyone has ever ordered a new Porsche with a custom paint request. If yes, my specific question relates to having the unfortunate situation should the car have a minor fender bender and the paint shop matching the special color. I spoke to a dealer and they said you could not order any extra paint just in case nor would a touch up paint pen be available for a minor rock chip, etc. Do you think I’m being misinformed by the dealer? If not, seems like a big chance you’re taking by ordering a custom color (in my case, stone gray as found on late 50’s 356 Porsche’s). Thanls in advance.

What is the average life expectancy for subject sensors and any suggestions for a source? Mine are approximately 5 years old and still functioning fine.

Paint Shop

Thanks for the replies guys! Sorry to respond so late but been on vacation. I’ll check out both ideas. -
Considering an exterior color change on my 08C2S. Looking for a very good paint shop in Portland, Oregon (preferred) or Pacific Northwest.

Belt off produced nothing unusual. In talking to a service shop he said his sometimes squeaks when he initially starts his car up. I noticed it when it was rather cold out but shortly after the car warmed up, all was gone. Think I'll just keep an eye (or ear in this case) out to see if it continues. Thanks for all the feedback.

Thanks gentlemen! Will remove the belt later next week and go from there. Will report back when I find out what it is and, hopefully not something too serious!
