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.

Intermediate Shaft? My Buddy's car that they though hit something and cracked the case , the dealer is now saying that the Intermediate Shaft broke and it killed the engine Wow , the car only has 50k on it and now it needs a $14k engine job. And just out of warranty. Does this sound right . Has Porsche seen this issue? https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/424509-996-question-is-there-a-3-8-upgrade.html
Yep - another 3.6 bites the big one. Sorry to hear. C.
could you tell if the case was busted from the inside out... if it is the then the IS failed... which is known to do. If the case was damaged outside in, then you hit something.
No there is no signs from outside the case
I was going to say something stupid about, "what's an intermediate shaft? I don't think anyone's heard of that." But I'll refrain... Sorry to hear about your friend's car. If you do some searching, you'll find a wealth of information about engine failures and replacements.
up...it happens. his only chance is if the dealer can talk the regional Porsche rep into making it happen. A lot of variables and most likely he will have to bite the big one on this. If he pays find a good indy.
