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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

At the tender age of 63, looking for a Euro Cruiser, so LHD and tiptronic. This particular tt Has low miles, good service history and is still running original, Brakes, Exhaust and Suspension. What is my immediate expenditure and other pointers please?

POST 2Original post

Another kettle Des? First since the GT3 isn't it? Have a look at the 996 buyer's guide that Richard and I wrote, all those points apply. Add to that, make sure the turbo's are not leaking. Very reliable cars. Good luck! Rod

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you and YES my second kettle after a very impressive GT3 similar sought Mezger engine. Will look at the buyers guide, thank you.

POST 4Original post

Check the transmission for ATF leaks from gaskets. It was a bit of a nightmare to fix on mine, and I believe it isn't uncommon. Turbo wastegate actuator rods tend to corrode away. Also, the rear springs tend to sag due to the engine weight, giving a slightly nose-up attitude.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Very helpful ..... ??

POST 6Original post

Hydraulic rams on spoiler is another known fault with age. Usual suspension components start to creak. Other than that turbo's are pretty bullet proof.

POST 7Original post

Tipper is ideal for the Turbo, not much gear changing needed. Add to the other comments: Brake and water pipe corrosion, brake disks don't last long, check transmission box for leaks.
