Hello everybody...I've been reading with interest (alarm?!) at the thread about the 996 engine problem and Porsche's response to it.
Rather than continuing on that same post, I thought it would be interesting (and scientifically worthwhile) to ask 996 owners on this forum what problems (if any) they've had with their own cars.
To make it accurate, please reply with the following info:
1. What model (and whether a 3.4 or 3.6 engine)
2. Age (Model year and registration year e.g. 1999 on 'S' plate)
3. Mileage covered to date
4. Original Engine?
5. If original engine, any major mechanical problems, what was done, how much and did Porsche GB help out financially?
6. If NOT original engine. What mileage did it fail at? How much was the bill to fix it?! Did Porsche GB assist financially?
7. Any other comments thats are relevent.
If we get enough responses to this, it may help people in the future decide whether or not to buy a 996: it will (hopefully!) reassure those 996 owners (myself included) as to the likelyhood or being financially "spanked" in the future by their car! And maybe, it might help

Please take a few minutes to take part as I'm sure the results will be appreciated by many.
