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 current car is put up for sale (2000 C4), and I'm browsing mobile.de for low milage C4 or preferably C4S cabs in non-black/non-silver colors.
I've stumbled across a dealer selling very high spec'ed Porsche Exclusive cars, and a few of those are really interesting. They got a speed yellow and a cobalt blue that look great on the pics.
Problem is, that most of their cars have PCCB. Doing a search on the boards people advise against the gen 1 in general, so I've started to become a bit scared.
I do not track my car - daily driver on mostly highways.
Should I be scared? I dont want to end up with a $15000 bill for brakes after e.g. 20k km just for having fancy brakes on my car.
I have the Gen I's on my '03 Turbo....no problems at all. Just check for crakcs in the rotors. You'll love the PCCB's....stopping power is amazing, they look great, and you get no brake dust and the wheels always stay clean. With normal use, the pads will last the life of the car. A great option! Good luck with your search.
m_o_i do a search on PCCB. THere are quite a few threads on the topic. I recall one "recently" (within the last 2 months?) that discussed PCCB and replacing the ceramic composit rotors with steel rotors. I don't recall the $$$ savings by doing this but I think it was substantial.
I tried searching for PCCB before posting, and most of the discussions I read were about using them on track or not. Couldnt really find much that answered the "daily driver" question
OK, my mistake! The thread I was looking for was on the 997 Forum. Ther is a link to the one post in that thread I was referring to anout switching to steel disks, in this case turbo disks.
