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.

Funny thing is - the M96 motor is still having problems all these years later.

POST 2Original post

The warranty in the US in 1997 and 1998 was only 2 years. The Boxster was getting a bad reputation back then because of engine failures. Porsche had to do something if they wanted the public to buy the Boxster - so they started a 4 year warranty in 1999. A bit of trivia. Funny thing is - the M96 motor is still having problems all these years later. Jeff
