Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

This issue is particularly aggrevating to me, that a premium car company doesn't engineer a fix.

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.

My baby is going to the shop next week for an RMS leak at 50,000miles and no warranty, so my question is: did Porsche still take care of it for you guys even when out of warranty due to the fact that its a know design flaw of the M96.01-03 engines?
Thanks
Carlos, I am glad you phrased the question that way. I've been dying to know what constitutes a recall on this. As Viken pointed out, if it is a safety issue, then a recall is issued. I received a notice on a factory recall re: the rear deck needing a different coat of paint. Apparently the rear deck was going to rust if this was not remedied. Another recall was the gas cap. Apparently the warning lights go off. Neither posted a significant safety issue. Now the RMS issue. If you do not fix this, does the motor fail later? If the measured "defect" is beyond a certain calibration scale on the caliper, does it then need a new/reconditioned motor? If the RMS fails, and the measured defect was less than the "expected tolerances", then a new motor is not issued. If that is the case, why did it fail in the first place? Long winded, but I 've searched quietly through the search engine here and cannot find a legitimate answer. Hope PAG reads this and helps clarify things.
If the rear main seal leaks it has failed. Apparently it leaks into the transmission housing that has the clutch/pressure plate.
Your clutch begins to slip. Depending on the amount of leak (it would get worse & worse) the transmission could probably could fail to propel the car.
Personally, I don't have evidence of a leak, BUT - when I down shift to pass my clutch slips from 4000rpm.
This issue is particularly aggrevating to me, that a premium car company doesn't engineer a fix. Hopefully, they will fix it for you gratis - we all deserve that.
Carlos, sorry to hear about your RMS problems. Mine just turned 50K, but no evidence of any problem, at least so far. (Knock on wood!) Hope you get it taken care of at no charge.
Off-topic subject: I just saw "Los Lunes al Sol" (Mondays in the Sun) last night on DVD. I think that was filmed around where you live, right? Not a lot of scenery shots, but what I saw looked very nice.

Thanks guys, I'll post what happens next week
CarlosR, I didn't see the movie because the people who filmed it are very politically active and I didn't think I'd like the way they protrayed whole thing, was it good?... Anyway it was filmed in Asturias I think which is close, about 400miles east along the coast. This part is even nicer and better weather
The movie credits said it was filmed in Vigo and Pontevedra. I thought you were in Vigo, but maybe I'm confused.
It was an OK movie, not a great one. And you're right, it was very ideologically biased. (I also had to put my personal politics aside to watch it.)
OK, we now end the movie reviews and return you to your regularly scheduled Porsche content.

You are right on both counts! I'm in Vigo (and Pontevedra is next door), I didn't know it was filmed here instead. Maybe I'll watch it if I have a chance, thanks
