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.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Posted last week inquiring about protection for the C4S "chin guard". Several people mentioned a metal plate made in California called a Boomerang. It seemed that the metal would take the brunt of steep driveway scrapes instead of the black plastic spoiler, so I ordered one. When I took it to the Dealer to have it put on, it turned out that it's meant to protect the metal area behind the spoiler. I didn't want the service visit to be a total waste of time so I had a new spoiler installed. While doing this they discovered a RMS leak. How common is this on an '02 with 10K? Is it the kind of repair that stays fixed? This is my 1st Porsche and although I had heard of this happening on 1999 and a few 2000 models, was not aware of it on more recent ones. The car has been babied, so I felt like I'd been hit by a boomerang.

POST 2Original post

Welcome to the club. Did the dealer offer anything other than to replace the seal? The PCA website has 2 recent posts for RMS failure on a '01 and '03. So, it appears that the problem is still there. Here is a link to a recent RMS poll: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...hreadid=108276 Good luck.

POST 3Original post

I have an '02 cab and the dealer discovered the RMS problem when he was doing the 15k service. No problems since and car now has 37k mi.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
