Got a 996 (year 2002). Yesterday my clutch pedal stayed on the floor after starting the car (I always dip the clutch when starting) and then the clutch seemed to slip on anything over 3000 rpm.
Been informed by porsche nottingham the clutch is broken (bugga).
Car done 24000 miles, 12000 with me. Not been doing burnouts or racing from the lights (too many points on licence already).
Does 24000 miles seem right for a porker clutch to go or not ?
Been quoted £820 by the dealer to fix it, £380 for the parts, rest on labour at £116/hour. (Might become a mechanic myself and retire in 5 years).
Is it me or does anybody else think porsche have done a remarkable job with the marketing. A super car that you can drive every day and is reliable, but in reality might be as dodgy as a farrari ?
Migration info. Legacy thread was 50841
