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 performed work without a confirmed outcome: 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.

Idly looking at a car with this factory fitted kit at the moment and see that there are a lot of internals that are changed with the fitting of the kit.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Folks, Quick question; does anyone know if the X51 Power kit on a Gen 1 997 makes any difference to the potential for bore scoring or other reliability issues? Idly looking at a car with this factory fitted kit at the moment and see that there are a lot of internals that are changed with the fitting of the kit. Was therefore wondering if this could increase or decrease the likelihood of bore scoring. Thanks for the expert feedback, Cheers TD

POST 2Original post

None of the different parts will have anything to do with the inherent weaknesses of the engines. The extra power has the potential to do more damage/do damage more quickly but it's anyone's guess to what degree. I'd rather have a manual X51 car than a Tip from a bore-score potential perspective (as well as much preferring the drive too).

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup, that was my gut feeling too but I figured it was worth asking all of you experts. Totally agree on the Tip thing. Not driven one but I don't think I'd be completely happy buying one of these lovely cars to then not have the opportunity to heel and toe. Very tempted, even though this would be very naughty from a financial point of view. If it do go for it I hope it will be more heel and toe than heel and tow! TD
