Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi i think my rms is getting worse on my02 c4 tip has any one ever done a diy job replacing the seals and if so any major problems i hear it can be hard to get coolant back in or has any one had it done latley and can give me an idea of cost and hours

POST 2Original post

I have heard that on a tiptronic car both the engine and box have to be removed? As for DIY, definately not for me, thanks. Porsche centres are charging around £800.

POST 3Original post

I was advised than unless it is really bad try to get it done the same time as a clutch. Not sure if engine has to be removed, i think it can be dropped to get access not completely removed but i may be wrong... Thanks, Steve

POST 4Original post

As Geoff says, on the facelift cars with Tiptronic, the transmission and engine have to be removed as one unit. Book time for that is 7.5 hours, plus splitting the two, removing the torque converter, and replacing the seal. Not for the faint-hearted, and you need one or two special tools, a car lift, etc, etc.

POST 5Original post

That's going to be a bit tricky with a tip !! ;-)

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi is that £800 from porsche or the indys

POST 7Original post

That was a figure mentioned by a Porsche Centre when my RMS was being replaced under warranty. That was for a 997 manual, which does not need engine removal. Most PC's are looking for work so haggle! Oh, and there's always the dreaded VAT to add.[ ]
