Great guys, fantastic service but more importantly will do what you need, not what they want you to have! Some great levels of attention too, I got a full health check write up picking up on things I hadn't asked for or pointed out. That is what you need from a specialist!! Great work guys. Interested to hear what they found above what you had done, if you’re willing to share, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgav2005 Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 I upgraded the Bose tweeters to the Burmester versions… About £130 all in and probably about 5-10 mins per side. Easy upgrade and certainly greater clarity to the sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

224 Peter Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 FINALLY discovered what the Sport Response button does. I LIKE IT.... But I have the Chrono Pack, PASM, and a few other options that get the most out of the chassis.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree lights are good but have found in heavy rain they don't seem to automatically dip soon enough for oncoming traffic. Be warned replacement headlights are expensive - circa £2,500 !!

Having this issue with my 981 at the min. OPC will only replace when they can see it isn't working, even though it's an intermittent problem! Was your dealership the same?

I had this last year with the OPC but the service manager also mentioned to try and get in the habit of using the de-mist button weekly to run the fan at full speed, since then I've never had it stick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

224 Peter Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 The rain on Wednesday 7th was of monsoon quality. We drove back from Littlehampton to Salisbury through the worst of it. My car has standard HID (25w) lights and whilst they could have been better they were good enough. There are times when the manual DIP is useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgav2005 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Upgraded the OEM 25W bulbs with Philips x-treme vision gen 2 35W D3S bulbs, upgraded shunts and OEM connecting wires. Looks brighter 👍 Not exactly in the same league as the matrix beams on the 992 / Panamera / RS3 / RS6 but better than the OEM candles Porsche put in as standard 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
