My 996 served admirably up to 175K miles over the past 7 years but had an engine failure leading to oil coolant mix (milkshake in the overflow tank). Was hoping for a simple fix with a failed oil cooler, but it looks to be something bigger (cracked head? cylinder?) Listed it in the classifieds. Would be a great foundation for an Audi 2.7T swap or someone that has a beater 996 with a good engine to swap. If anyone knows of any forums or groups that specifically market 996/997 rollers please let me know. Thanks. At least the 928 is still going strong. https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1483047

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.

Craiglist and Offer Up are where I've purchased most of my cars. Really sorry about the motor and sale. Sucks these things have such low value when the motor is toast.

No coolant in the oil, no milkshake on dipstick...? Only oil in coolant reservoir...? Any chance the water pump failed or was changed out in the last 9 months..?
Sorry to hear about your car, mine is almost identical except it is Ocean Blue metallic and has the aero package. Other than that, pretty much the same. If I didn't just buy two Audi's to flip, I would be interested, and I'm down the street in the Daytona area. I'm sure it will sell fast, even if you only list it here. Otherwise I would just put it on marketplace and somebody will snap it up quickly.
