The invoice reads:

Found broken ramp for tensioner and valves bent. Intermediate shaft failed and there is large metal debris in chain box. Remove and replace engine assembly. Swap over necessary parts.

" Automatic transmission unflanged+flanged

Last I knew, ALL re-man engines had a 2 year, unlimited mileage warranty. Also, last I knew, there was still a recommended break in procedure. LOTS of things here do not add up to what you've been told.

With all due respect, I beg to disagree. I feel that Porsche was very up front with me once they had determined the fault. The CPO warranty was honored, they provided me with a free loaner( Panamera 4) and I was otherwise treated well.

They showed me pics of the engine internals and explained what had happened. What more could I ask for?

As to the 2 year warranty bit, it does make sense to me since I paid nothing, not a farthing. From their point of view, the remaining warranty remains in force. If I had footed the bill, then a new 2 year warranty would have been given.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased...As to the break-in period, I'm adhering to the manual's recommendation.
