Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

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.

Dealer also put reman engine part number (996.100.996.CX) on my invoice but I found the work order for bench testing a new engine (996.100.996.03) accidentally left in the car when I picked it up.

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

I checked the wife's coupe again the other day and the THIRD RMS is leaking! This car only has 25K miles and the last 2 seals have lasted all of 1k miles each. Last week 996FLT6 posted that Porsche will be issuing a new RMS (2nd updated part) at some point in the future. I checked with the local service rep who contacted the PCNA regional rep. The PCNA rep told him that all the current stock has been pulled and a new part will be out in about 2-3 weeks. Net, anybody with a leaky seal should be sure to get the new part as a replacement.

hmm i just got a new motor because RMS was still leaking after they "fixed" it. Does that mean I have a new motor that's also going to leak? Maybe that's a good thing, maybe that'll lead to lemon law..... Dealer also put reman engine part number (996.100.996.CX) on my invoice but I found the work order for bench testing a new engine (996.100.996.03) accidentally left in the car when I picked it up. So it seems I have a new engine but they want me to believe I have a reman. Weird.
