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.

POST 4Original post
I do not know the car I am afraid but what a depressingly low price... Looks a whole lot of car for the money - there surely has to be something driving that price position, other than trying to slel a cab when it is still snowing of course!

You'll probably find he'll be selling it so cheap as he has been offered silly money in part ex against his new car from the dealer.
POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Unsure about a 996 I'm still unsure about a 996 even though it does seem cheap as I've heard so many horror stories about the engines. I only came across ir whilst looking for a 993 but it did get me thinking again! Dazed and Confused still, where can I find some sensible info on what to llok out for on the 996? Cheers

Remember people only tell you when something goes wrong with their car :?: I would of thought that if something was going to go wrong with the engine it would of happened by now as its on 85k. Seems a good price, I paid 15.7k less than a year go with similar spec :sad:

Age What year cars had the major problems, did this ever get sorted on 3.4 engines or was it only resolved when the engine went to 3.6?
POST 9Original post
Re: Age I don't think the issue ever got resolved as I remember reading Gen 1 997's having the same issue. Bottom line is it only affected a small number of cars. Google search is your friend here for sure !
