My beautiful 996 C2 has blown it's head gasket. It's silver with terracotta leather, 18" Turbo alloys, Porsche service history, 99k on the clock. Stunning condition. It's on Ebay now and will go very cheap! I don't want to say any more than that as it makes me sick every time i think about it but hopefully someone will help me out.

I feel for you-this was my worst nightmare with my 99 996-I decided in the end to warranty it but I would have had to sell if I was in your position-there is no way I could have afforded a new engine.
Good luck.
 
thanks for the support, i also considered the warranty but found out it didn't cover this sort of problem
 
Thats a real shame, looks really nice. I thought the Porsche warranty would cover this??
 
some OPC's do and some dont but i know for sure that a head gasket is not covered

if you have a FSH and an OPC warranty.. they ALL DO

speak to Porsche GB cars at Reading if you have any problems
