Talking 2003 996 C4S Engine Failure Question
Bonjour,

Does anyone have any idea what percentage of the 2003 996 engines are going bad? I am the original owner of a 2003 996 C4S with 32,000 miles and have not had any engine problems to date.

Don't know the % of failures, I'm sure it's much lower than earlier 996's.

For now, go drive your car and don't worry about it....

51.527% as per the latest study.

Not worth selling at this point unless you are looking to trade up to a newer POS with less miles
