I had a new water pump installed at about 7k miles. Other than that it has been perfect.

PS- 2,000 miles are the 997S and we have a noise from the left rear... Could be as simple as a rock in the caliper or wheel bearings, will find out next week when it goes in for service...

someone i know had their 997 RMS fail at 10k miles, so it is still an issue, maybe just not as bad as it was on the 996 models

2500 miles on mine, no probs engine wise at all!

I sold my 05 997 with 10,500 miles (I ordered an 06 997S Club Coupe). After I had the NAV installed, my car reported multiple system faults and the cruise control didn't work. It took two tries to fix it, but I never suffered from an power train issue (electrical only).
