100k Issues

Passed 100k miles and starting to get little problems. Replaced my rear taillights not too long ago.
Then both of my horns went out. Replaced them after removing my bumper and seeing the replacements had different plugs. Called and got adapters since my original horns were discontinued.
Finally, one of my exhaust fans above the engine pulled an error and stopped working.
All of these were easy repairs that I am doing on my own. But it definitely seems that the parts have a 100k lifetime. Can't wait to see what falls apart next.

Congrats on driving the car so much, and update your sig line since you passed the 100k mark! And yes, many times parts are advertised to last at least 100k miles...lets hope the problems do not continue but if the car has been cared for the real important and expensive stuff should last a lot longer.

I don't think the brutal Florida heat and humidity helps..
But you're right, all simple and relatively cheap fixes.

Congrats on 100K! If it is any consolation, some of the things you have noted required attention on my 14 C4S with 40K miles...

97supratt is an unknown quantity at this point
Those are still minor issues for a 991. The main components like the engine and trans seem fine which is a good thing because those are expensive ticket items.
