Yup. Fixed list...

Janker Feb 6, 2010 01:26 PM

So far -
MAF x 2
Rads
Coils
Windows drop/door mech
Heat shield
Major service (not a fault in fairness)
4 x new tyres (as above)
Things cost me a fortune and only had it 6 x months.. You gotta pay to play I suppose ;)

I have had all of these as well along with radiators! I think clutch would go under the general maintenance though.

Lucky that you have the skill and knowledge to fix almost all of them yourself.

Sounds like lots of common problems, I thought these cars were pretty much bulletproof:confused:

Cost
 
What would these repairs cost without warranty?

They are. Modern Porsche's (at least CTT and 996 I own/owned) are tight and stellar in every aspect. The only problem I have with my 996tt is passenger side spolier ram leaks slighty. Up/down functions work ok but I occasionally get spolier failure in cluster.

IMO these are not "big" problems. Yes they are a lot, but....N/A 996's owners would put the engine and gearbox into that list....hilarious

Would be interesting to know how many miles you had when these problems occurred.

Thanks.
