Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Porsche engine problem

[Larry T (l02turner]

Yep.  Porsche replaced a lot of 911 and Boxster engines in the early '00s -  it's a pretty well documented problem.  I had thought my Oil Analysis testing might help but evidently the failure and happen quickly with little or no warning.   The German auto industry had problems in the 90s and are still fighting the results.  Mercedes made cares with paint falling off, wiring that self-destructed and diesel engines that had the #1 cylinder become oval.

With Porsche, there's an additional engine problem with the IMS failures but I can't recall it at the moment --

Have any of you out there been hearing of the Porsche engine problems ?

There was a full page article on it in Autoweek how Porsche has been ducking the issue for 10 yrs !

It's big shit among the dreaded P car guys

Hello - open letter -

 

*       WHAT - Looking for a virginal 1978 308 GTS

 

*       WHY - to take detail pictures of the blacked out paint details &
paint my car correctly

o   My 308 is all apart for painting now. 

o   Was disassembled and painted two times before. 

o   Oh boy - what's really correct?

 

*       WHERE - within 100 miles of Thousand Oaks, CA  (Los Angeles area)

 

*       COLOR - Rossa Corsa would be nice but I'll be happy with any
unmolested '78 308 GTS.

 

*       HOW SOON? - asap

 

Thanks

 

DOUG
