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.

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.

Suggestion · Original poster
I appreciate there will be a whole lot of potential re -commissioning issues but am particularly interested in this brakes question given cost of replacement ( if he wanted to replace like for like rather than with steels).

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

Advice needed please. A friend overseas has the chance to buy a 2005 996 Turbo with ceramic stoppers that has been laid up in a garage for a few years. Does this length of inactivity necessarily have any detrimental effect on Porsche ceramics of this vintage? I appreciate there will be a whole lot of potential re -commissioning issues but am particularly interested in this brakes question given cost of replacement ( if he wanted to replace like for like rather than with steels). Any views/knowledge greatly appreciated. B

POST 2Original post

The brake pad friction material has possibly started to separate from the back plates - it's an age related problem apparently. My 2005 996tt S did it at 8 years old with front inner pads that were hardly worn, and my specialist said it's a common problem with PCCBs. Budget 400 quid per axle for new OEM pads, worst case.
