Of course naturally I missed it when it actually happened(!!!) I did manage to get it at 200k, but somehow it slipped my mind for the quarter million... oh well, maybe I'll manage it at 500K :dont know:

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.

That's great to see! It'll take me a long time to get there... I'd like to think I might still be driving the same car to see it roll thro' 250k miles. Has it cost more than just usual maintenance?

Very impressive. Has it needed any major engine work?
POST 5Original post
^^^judging from the signature, yes it has! also WRT to the sig...how did you integrate the IPD plenum with the cable throttle? I was under the impression they were not compatible? And was it a worthwhile modification? Here's to the next 250k!

Just usual maintenance... although I do extend that to the concept of 'preventative maintenance' - if not for tweaks and upgrades, I would say it has ultimately cost me the same as any other car - a 996 may be slightly 'exotic' or high spec in some regards, but its also far simpler than a comparably fast modern car... IPD produced a specific plenum version for the 98 cable throttle 3.4 carrera - I managed to find it secondhand on ebay many years ago IPD still list it: 996 Carrera 2 3.4L (1998-1999) Cable Throttle | Part #96074 I like the look and principle of it i.e. the drilled through wedge maintaining a degree of turbulance while splitting the incoming air more cleanly to each bank... couldn't say what it really adds in numbers, if anything...

POST 9Original post
Bravo... some going. Mine's about 25k short of 200k, still on its original engine.... 120k of those in my ownership. I'll be very happy if it's still on its original engine at 250k!
