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.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am planning on selling my 996 cabriolet very soon. 2003 car with the 3.6 engine. I have been putting the paperwork in order and ordering all the old MOT certificates. I have a thick folder of old bills which I never looked through from the day I bought it. In this paperwork there is a bill for a new engine back in 2009. The car currently sits at around 93,000 miles and the engine was replaced at around 35.000 miles. All the corresponding e mail letters between the then owner the dealer who supplied and the customer service at Porsche where they all argue for how much of the cost each is willing to pay. Engine was replaced at a Porsche dealer and was supplied by them. My question is this after all that intro: will there be any difference between the new engine and the one supplied with the car at manufacture? I read such a lot about various seals and bearings but have not really paid much attention to it. Mostly I just drive my car. I wondered if it made any practical difference and basically would it add value to the car? Thanks in advance, John.

POST 2Original post

Depends what year the engine was changed. Newer engines have dofferent parts. For example, if you were to buy the latest 3.4 block off Porsche it has the latter 997 ims bearing in it.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The engine was changed in 2009.
