Man you guys are lucky in NZ to get new engines!! When will Porsche just stop with the "i never heard of the RMS issue" and just get on with fixing the problem!!! I still have no car!!
-
Percymon I think that i am right in saying that the issue is not the fact that the oil leaks out but the fact the reason that the seal does not fit is due to the cylinder not being concentric. By fixing the oil leak you are not fixing the cause of the problem. Correct me if i am wrong

HarryR Been on the case already. I have to agree with yor comments about the hand that feeds.... I think that only a small minority of owners access these forums, i really dont think that the Porsche loving public at large are aware of problems with engines

Guys, What can i say its been 3 weeks now no loan car, everything and everbody at Porsche have gone quiet including my car! I had a letter from PGB informing me of my BOXTER that had blown an engine.....need i say more.... Has anyone got any contacts in the media not for anything else but this whole attitude defies logic. Also may be wolfgang should act as our man in Germany and go for a drive to the factory. Belive me i have thought of buying a ticket there. Someone please tell me that Porsche as a company are not this bad

noor Believe me getting any form of records from Porsche centres is like trying to extract blood out of a stone. Porsche centres here in the Uk deny there are any issues with the engine let alone pay for them to be fixed! If there is anybody out there who can get these records that would be welcome

wolfgank belive me i dont want to have to pay for my engine to be replaced. What i think that Porsche GB is failing to understand is that there is no issue as to their responsiblity but they continue to persist in the hope that we as customers give up. The Porsche centre knows that i am a doctor on call yet they have not provided me with a loan car. My car still sits in their compound while they make a decision or they decide to have my car stripped to find the known fault. Wait for it i have to pay for this to be done. I am sure that the law stipulates that the ownes os on the manufacture to prove the fault was caused by me not the other way round!!! All i can say is that if you know of a sensible guy in Porsche AG that understands the technical side as well as legal obligation then let me know as all i get from Porsche Gb customer service is gibberish about how i own a boxter and not a 996!!!

Thank you for that..

I have to say that what you guys get in the states as far as warranties and customer service seems at odds with what we here in the U.k. have experienced. I have just been told that my hardly used 996 trip with 30k on the clock fully serviced at OPC needs a new engine!!! and since its out of the 2 year warranty cost would be £9,750(ie $16,770!!!) I would value your thoughts especially if any of you have had similar problems. I am trying tocreate a datbase of cars needing Total engine replacements so anyone got info would be most welcome Dr Mahen Nadarajah

Total Engine Replacements
n4das posted a topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Does anyone have any idea as to how i would go about finding out how may 996's have had their engines replaced after normal use (ie not raced)???
