Hi All I would be very interested to hear from anybody who has suffered the pain of an intermediate drive failure in a 996 3.6L engine (1997 - 2005). Thanks

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.

ID Failure Hi Chipfork, Sorry to hear you have the T-shirst. & what an expensive T-shirt that is! Did you get any help from Porsche? After a lot of wrangling Porsche did 50% on Parts and Labour but it was only about 1 month within their 'goodwill matrix' if it had happened later they would have done nothing. Still almost 7K though..... How did you get on? Any help from Porsche? Have you heard of anybody else having this problem? I still owe a small amount on finance on this car and so will try and make a claim against the finance company. I may also try and make a claim against the Prosche garage where I bought the car. Both on the grounds that this particular car was not fit for its purpose!
