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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have two spots on my 97 986 where the paint is starting to bubble. Will this be covered under the corrosion warranty? Thanks Automon

POST 2Original post

How long is the corrosion warranty? Longer than the standard warranty? I have no idea, but I would guess a 97 isn't going to be under any kind of warranty anymore given the age of the car.

POST 3Original post

I believe there is a 7 or 10 year rust warranty. Check your owners manual.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

under the drivers side air intake my owners manuel says 10 years so I guess i will take it in and see what they say. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks, Automon

POST 6Original post

If it is right under the lip of the air intake scoop it is possible that some water containing some corrosive minerals was trapped in there for a long time. I think the corrosion warranty should fix it for you though. Good luck and let us know what happens!

POST 7Original post

In my experience, normally a corrosion warranty only applies to what they call "perforation", or a complete rust-through problem. Hopefully, the Porsche warranty is more gracious and you'll be covered...
