Default 996 C4/2 ENGINE PROBLEMS - 11-27-2006 , 04:27 PM






Hi everybody, I am driving a 911 (996 C4 10/01). I heard about engine
problems once the car has made more Km 80.000. Is anybody aware of this
problem? I a from Italy and it looks like this problem is happening
quite often. Thanks to everybody

There have been some rear main seal (oil leak) problems with some of the
pre-2002 engines. In the States, Porsche has been replacing those with a
new style seal and a new procedure that does not require a lot of time.
Your car is a late production '01 or early production '02, and it may well
not have the problem. Just keep an eye out for oil leaking on the ground or
exhaust system.
