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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

According to my dealer and other buyers, Porsche recommends an engine "burn-in" period on new 996s. My dealer says his Porsche technicians strongly disagree by saying that they engines are "hot tested" at the factory and do not need a "burn-in" period. Rather, it's rumored that Porsche recommends the "burn-in" period to encourage new owners to get familiar with their car before they wrap it around a tree. Any comments, or better, any truth to this out there? Note: Porsche salesmen never tell me to take it easy on that showroom engine when I test drive. Thanks, Kent

Follow the break-in procedure in your manual... and you will never have a warranty claim disputed.

POST 3Original post

Remember, your car seemingly records the bloopers that you make (redlines, gears, etc..) so dont take chances as Jedi Loren said, \\W// May the Phorsche be with you.

POST 4Original post

Which raises the question about the underlying health of the "demo". These cars are generally sold as new, and not discounted for the pre-break-in abuse of us enthusiastic customers. That's a part of the reason I generally prefer to order a car and wait. AS

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Records bloopers? You mean when I have gas in the drivers seat and don't have dealer/factory seats warmers, Porsche is going to accuse me of installing my own, thus voiding the warranty on the seats? geez!!!
