What is RMS
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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all I've just joined the forum and have recently bought a 2000 996 C2 Cab Tiptronic. The car is my first Porsche and so far it's living up to all my expectations. Going through previous posts I've been a little a alarmed with references to Engine failures and RMS! What is the RMS? From what I can understand it has something to do with the Clutch. Since my car is a Tiptronic, is it still applicable to my car. All advice greatly appreciated. Regards

POST 2Original post

R ear M ain oil S eal When you have a week or two to spare, you'll find threads here and on the Boxster forum. Lower mileage cars tend to be affected most, and tiptronics are not immune.

POST 3Original post

Congrats on your buy, I'm sure you'll love it. Don't get too freaked out by what you read on here about RMS problems, (Richard's right by the way, it would take a week at least to catch up), you've made the right buy with the Tiptronic from a RMS perspective, look at the last page of the 996 Engine failure thread for a brief comment on the Tiptronic issue from Nic D (I think)

Just wanted to say thanks to all those who replied.

POST 8Original post

The tiptronic is not immune. It is just they are not as popular as a manual transmission. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3510

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