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.
Suggestion
Very few standard 996s which get standard use, e.g.
Leading evidence: 'Use e.g' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use e.g' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I have just read an article in the 911 world mag about a 996 that has covered 300k miles on its original engine and yes the original ims bearing, the car has been used as a delivery vehicle to F1 teams for express parts delivery. 8)
so i guess my car is just run in :thumb:
Worth noting that it isn't standard though.
Poppops threads are great though. Mega clever guy. Wish I had a tenth of his understanding of performance and race cars.
Standard apart from:
Engine
Exhaust
Brakes
Drive shafts
Suspension
Fuel system
Uprights (carbon covered)
Data logging
Headlights
I'm sure that isn't a complete list!
The Pistonheads thread is a good read and details most of the modifications
... with mods to the cooling system, such as larger rads, no air con rads to hinder flow, plus mods to fuel system and the rest of that list above.
Very few standard 996s which get standard use, e.g. shorter trips etc, will make it to 300k. Crankshaft bearings are generally worn through by 150k.
Having said that I'll be over the moon if I don't have to rebuild mine until 150k. That'll be another 20 years. :wink:
It is very impressive. Absolutely. :thumb:
And until his rebuild to 3.7 not long ago, the main internals hadn't been touched.
It's just worth pointing out that the cooling, oil and fuel systems aren't standard, incase newbies read it, then expect to buy one and do 300k trouble free miles. :grin:
There's an American on PH that took his Boxster to over 300k miles before he sold it. All standard as far as I know. His 996 Turbo did about half that before he sold.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
