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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello all, I'm new to the forums. I have a 2001 Carrera with 37K Miles that's pre-owned certified. I took the car in for some new tires and alignment recently and the techs noticed some leaking. Porsche ended up replacing the RMS and bolts. I was told the new 997 kit would repair this for good. Is this true? By the way the Michelin Sports are a huge step up from the Asymetricos. Mike

POST 2Original post

Should work fine as long as they used the new installation tool (which I'm sure they did at the dealer). Check to be sure they referenced the 997 part number on the repair order and you should be good to go

POST 3Original post

Oh yea - I hope they did the intermediate shaft seal at the same time - check the RO.

POST 4Original post

I got RMS leak @ 7000 miles now I'm at 12K miles and so far so good. RMS seal was replaced with the new "Cayenne" type seal and new tool (Oct '05). So far so good. I'm sure your car will be fine just as well so no need to panic. Just get it done and you should be fine. Best!
