This is not a probability of success.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am purchasing a 1999 996 C4 Cab..motor was rebuilt in December 05 by Autostrauss in Orange county california. has anyone had motor work done by them. they gave previous owner a 6 month warranty and it only has 2500 miles on rebuild. any feedback would be appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Pretty strange that a shop would take the time to rebuild an engine, when one can be had from Porsche for only $8K.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Seller tells me that he had a piston break and water came in a siezed engine. he was second owner and porsche would not warranty...they did give him $4k of his $10k total bill. he had sensors replaced also at this time.

POST 4Original post

You can rebuild a motor for less then that and use better parts...They probably didnt, but that is one reason
