Engine Number And Replacement?

[johnsnow]

Im looking at buying a Box that has had a replacement engine, the engine no. is M96268T62665338

Looking through the forums it suggest the T is a refurb is that correct? Am I right in thinking this a 2005 engine?

Are you sure that it isn't AT, not 8T? AT would mean it is a replacement engine. AT is short for Austausch, German for Exchange.

By your serial number the engine was built in 2006.

As Richard said "AT" means replacement engine - most likely new but could be refurbished.

Porsche refurbished engines are put the the same factory QA and testing as new engines. And all replaced engines get the remainder of the vehicle warranty or 2 years warranty whichever is longer.
