These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just gave my 03 cab its first wash. The brake discs have this awful rusty brown look on them!!! They didn't look like this before the wash. Is this normal? thanks Chucksta

POST 3Original post

I assume you're kidding us Chuck. Why don't you get PCCB, they don't rust

POST 4Original post

NORMAL -- NORMAL -- NORMAL Here is the TSB about it... "911 (996) 4/02 4650 7/22/02 Binder Group 4, Running Gear Corrosion on Brake Discs Vehicle Type: 911 Carrera (996)/911 Carrera 4 (996) Model Year: As of MY 1999 (X) Concern: Corrosion on the brake discs. Information: Due to inquiries regarding corroded brake discs, the following text will appear in the vehicle Owner's Manual as of Model Year 2003. The following text can also be helpful when discussing corroded brake discs with customers. To prevent corrosion of the brake discs, "brake them dry" before parking the car. Even though the brake discs consist of alloyed grey cast iron, they will unavoidably start to corrode if your car is parked for an extended period. The brakes will tend to "rub" as a result. The nature, extent and effects of corrosion depend on the amount of time the vehicle was parked, whether granular or liquid road salt was spread and whether grease dissolving agents were used in car washes. If the braking comfort is noticeably impaired, we recommend having the brake system checked by a Porsche dealer."
