I have just been notified that my 997 C2S Tip which I purchased in June 2008 has bore damage due to a broken piston ring. The car is under specialist warranty not Porsche warranty. The warranty company is prepared to pay for the ring damage and the dealer is prepared to reline the bore however it has been suggested that for a little extra (which I am being asked to pay!) it maybe worth considering an exchange engine from Porsche. It has covered 48000 miles on the current engine.
I therefore have two options
1. Reline the bore
2. Get an exchange engine from Porsche.
The replacement engine has a 2 year guarantee from Porsche, which is attractive, however I am not sure how this will affect the future value and desirability of my car. Is this going to be a stigma? or should I have the bore relined?
Does anyone have experience of this. I'm not sure what to do, so any advice would be helpful
Many thanks in advance :?:
