Back to the original point of the post, has anybody actually called their OPC to confirm a price on this?

No need. I've read it on the internet so it must be true. 😄

Here you go.....desk research......

Part numbers from here:
http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-parts/hardparts.php?dir=996-99-05&section=101-00

Prices from Rose Passion (add by reference) for SHORT ENGINES:

M96.01 M96.02 3.4 Short Engine (99 UP TO YEAR 01) 996100951TX £5490 inc VAT
https://www.rosepassion.com/en/cat/piece/P211701

M96.03 3.6 Short Engine (UP TO YEAR 05) 996100996XX £6678 inc vat
https://www.rosepassion.com/en/cat/piece/P211708

Note "Part exchange (Send us your old part to receive the new one)" Maybe expensive to France. But your local OPC should be the same price? Possibly cheaper on the continent.....given your post on page 1.

Note X on the end of part number denotes "remanufactured". New New engines are 99610095150 and 99610099655 are £16k - £17k.

Time to flash that PCGB 10% parts discount card?
 
That is my point, the original article said £3500+vat. Those prices are miles off that.
I call bullsh!t on the original article.

The OP said £3500. No mention of VAT.

Has anyone actually got a copy of Total 911 page 10?
 
I have been sent image of the article and it says £3500, so inc vat. If we had website that you could add an image from an iPhone without going through Photobucket or similar then in I would share it
 
I've emailed Exeter OPC as they usually give me a nice discount - will post the prices as soon as I hear back.
 
here is the article

This is the article, difficult to photograph the glossy paper well, but at least the doubters can see for themselves :eh!:

I don't think anybody is doubting what is said in the article. I just doubt that it is correct. Nottingham OPC knew nothing of the reduction. Either it isn't true or it just hasn't trickled down to the OPCs yet. It would be nice to know the source of the information.

Just got a reply from Exeter OPC -

996.100.951.TX is available as an exchange from Germany. Retail is £4483.46 + vat with a surcharge of £1874.63 + vat

996.100.996.XX is also available exchange from Germany at £5452.87 + vat with a £1982.57 + vat surcharge
 
FYI my car had its engine replaced by Porsche OPC in Aberdeen about 6-7 years ago. I'll have a look at the receipt for any item prices but if I remember right it was £10k all in. Not sure if it was short block though.

It is an X code IIRC.

do you have to get the old one back to Germany or just to the OPC....?

Who wrote the article? Its there an email address for the editorial staff? Lets ask them.

There is no email address on the website. Maybe someone could tweet them https://twitter.com/Total911

I want an X51 short block.

Assuming you already have an X51 engine I think you will just need to swap the sump.
