I know this may be irrelevant to the "BMW Club" site, but i thought i would share my frustrations with you guys, and not sure if any of you can help with any idea!
I recently (10 days ago) have change the window handle actuator at the porsche agency, came back home, everything is cool, parked my car and left it.
since it is my second car, i didnt touch it for almost a week, when a friend came asking me if he can use it for couple of days, sure do, gave him the key.
and guess what ! the car locks are not opening, well, i thought that maybe the central locking started hibernating, tried with the key in the door, and again nothing ! no way to open the freaking thing !!!!!!!!!
Called porsche center, after waiting for almost a week, they sent me a technician to open it up ! to top on my miseries, he could not find the emergency cable release for the front hood (they said it's a battery problem - though am not convinced at all) if it was to be a battery problem, the door would at least open with the key ? or am i wrong ? he suggested breaking the drivers door window to gain access, i refused.
now the service center said they will send me a person from the workshop to try to open the car.
I am convinced that the problem has been caused because of a bad work during the changing of the window handle actuator on the same door that has the lock problem.
porsche said they will be charging me for the job (fixing what they have messed up) what do you think guys ?
P.S: I changed the battery with a genuine porsche battery less then a month ago from the service center in mussaffah, though installation was not done by them, they are saying that the installation of the battery may not have been done properly.
to cut the story short, I am VERY DISAPPOINTED by the servicing done at the porsche agency in mussaffah, and it is not the first time they mess up something while repairing something else in the car.
