Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

After 3 years of ownership, I am only now finding out that 996 engines require rebuilding or replacing even with a relatively low mileage.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After 3 years of ownership, I am only now finding out that 996 engines require rebuilding or replacing even with a relatively low mileage. (60,000). Having little or no knowledge in this area clearly doesnt help however water on your dip stick is apparently a very bad (expensive)sign. :sad: Anybody have any knowledge \ experience in this area and can advice on a way forward? I will gladly sell the car with a substantial discount to any interested parties. Many thanks
