Suggestion
I think the big deal on the RMS is that once your car is out of warranty, you could suddenly be on the hook for the full cost of repair/and or engine replacement, which might last or might not.
Leading evidence: 'Replace twice' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair /and or engine replacement' (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.

Ironically, it is owners like you (those keep these vehicles past their warranty period) who will most likely be hit with potentially huge repair bills once the warranty is gone.

That will undoubtedly change, especially in light of the fact that is a problem which still, apparently has no solution.

Is the issue of a leaky RMS one that will stay with the car, or once replaced, SHOULD that be the end of the problem.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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'm with Z0650th above; no new Porsche purchases until this problem is FIXED on current cars, and has been totally eliminated on new cars.
Hello All,
Newbie looking for advise here. Been going back and forth on P-car purchase (993 cab vs. 996 cab). I've been reading a lot of posts and have a question about the RMS issue. Is the issue of a leaky RMS one that will stay with the car, or once replaced, SHOULD that be the end of the problem.
Also, what should I expect to pay for a one owner loaded 2000 cab with approx 18k miles.
TIA
Tom
It could happen as you drive out of the garage.. but the probability is less since i recall reading the RMS's are a new generation compared to the ones fitted to the 98-99 models..
Mine was changed twice, but the second time only for safety.. it wasnt really leaking..

Tomdeg,
Based on what has been posted, RMS problems are not fully predictable: they can happen on vehicles with low mileage or high mileage. If one has the seal replaced, there is still no guarantee that this will be the final solution to the problem. One may need another seal at a later time or worst yet, another engine. I wish Porsche would tell us all what they really know about the RMS problem. BTW, there are 2004's with RMS problems. So, if one connects the dots, it seems that the RMS problem has not been solved yet.
This is why I will not get the 997. Until there is a final and complete fix to the RMS problem in 911's, I will stay away from Porsche. It's too bad too cause I love the look of the 997.
I think the big deal on the RMS is that once your car is out of warranty, you could suddenly be on the hook for the full cost of repair/and or engine replacement, which might last or might not.
Not a very comfortable feeling, and certainly not one which will help re-sale values as the problem becomes widely known. Right now although Porsche dealers are well aware of the issues, I'm not sure non-Porsche re-sellers are. That will undoubtedly change, especially in light of the fact that is a problem which still, apparently has no solution.
I'm with Z0650th above; no new Porsche purchases until this problem is FIXED on current cars, and has been totally eliminated on new cars.
Well, personally, I have 3 Porsches, and I will continue to drive them until [some brand X car] dominates Daytona and Sebring the way Porsche does.

UberXY,
Ironically, it is owners like you (those keep these vehicles past their warranty period) who will most likely be hit with potentially huge repair bills once the warranty is gone. Good luck to you!
