In my case I just had to replace the power steering resorvoir tank for a tune of $900.00 These cars are expensive to repair and maintain.

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.

I have been looking for a bit, starting to feel the itch to buy another Porsche. The new 997's are a little out of my reach, but the 996 TT is just about right...what are some of the most common problem areas w/the TT? Things I should be on the lookout for? I am not @ home to scour my Library of Porsche books and I have found one that I am very interested in..thinking about going to go see it as soon as my offshore hitch is over.
Thanks
understandable...one I am looking @ is moderately modded already I wouldn't need to do much else unless I were wanting to go w/a GT700 upgrade or something similar.
The Turbo Cut-Off Valves just went bad in mine. The dealer wanted $750 to fix it. I bough the parts for $160 and my friend is fixing it for a nice dinner.
Post your question on the 996 tt board...will get alot of responses based on personal experience. In my case I just had to replace the power steering resorvoir tank for a tune of $900.00 These cars are expensive to repair and maintain. Also different model years suffer some different illnesses.
I personally would not buy a modded car because you do not know how aggressively the PO drove his car.
OUCH
Don't get me started on the Buffs now...J/K
Thanks guys for the responses Hopefully a Mod can move this for me, otherwise I'll move it to the TT forum...I wasn't paying attention to what forum I was in when I posted this.
