Why sit it in your garage for the winter months? 
Nothing wrong with driving it 12 months a year, unless we get hit with some serious snow. OK, you may not get the roof down so often, but even with the top up, it’s a great drivers car.

I certainly wouldn’t let the time of year stop me from buying a soft top. Actually, that may be one of the reasons for the sale, as they’re slower to sell this time of year & so maybe a bit of a bargain to be had! Strike while the iron is hot.

Update just to say the coolant system failure warning was as a result of a split vacuum line hose/pipe. This was replaced under warranty by my OPC.

They are open but running with much reduced staffing levels & are mainly dealing with emergency/ breakdown issues rather than scheduled routine servicing for the time being. Also only 1 of the sales team on duty.

Anyway,  they looked after me very well, can’t complain at all, especially under present circumstances.

Thanks Roddy.

its under Porsche warranty anyway, so I’m not stressing over the price at least.

I’ve just received a courtesy car, a Merc c220d amg & good communication from the dealer so although it’s not ideal, I really can’t complain. I’ve been told to expect an update on Wednesday as they’re working with reduced staff, as you would expect.
I’ll update on here as to what the fault is etc as it may be useful info for others in the future.

Waiting for Porsche roadside assistance to come to help.

I’ve had a warning message on the dash reading “ cooling system fault, consult dealer, service required”.

Its still under warranty & my OPC Re- opened today. They suggested using their recovery service to get in in & sorted. Especially as my Macan that I also bought from the same OPC needs to go in for a safety recall!

I understand that the 718 cooling system message is not un-common & has something to do with one or two valves?
