Seems chicken **** to cover their ass with insurance to cover employees mistakes, but leave the employee hanging with such a high deductable. Bet they don't keep employees very long with that kind of policy.

When I had my BoxsterS after 1 year it took the second key turn for it to start. Took it in and they replaced the MAF. Went for over a year with it backfiring on deceleration hard enough that it blew the welded seams on 3 sets of cats. Finally it spun a rod bearing. Still had the same problem after they replaced the motor from that. Finally the Tech at Porsche that was working with the mechanic on the problem happened to be on vacation when I took it in yet again for another blown cat. His supervisor looked at the paperwork and had the mechanic check the part number on the MAF. It was the wrong one. The parts guys gave the mechanic the wrong one and both times he replaced it after that they gave him the same wrong one. There are two MAFs for the 2001 boxsterS depending on the firmware in the ECU. When they got the correct MAF it fixed the problem. Moral is, not only did the mechanic trust the parts department, but also the Factory techs working with him until the problem finally made it to the attention of a supervisor that asked to check the part number.

By your companies standards the Factory Tech would have had to pay for my new motor.
