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.

Do they tend to use any water (someone said they can do on lots of short runs) and is half a litre of oil every 1000 miles too much?

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I posted just the other day asking about a Porsche 996 I am considering buying. And now I have another question I am afraid! Do they tend to use any water (someone said they can do on lots of short runs) and is half a litre of oil every 1000 miles too much? (on BMW anything upto 1 litre per 1000 miles is apparently OK). And finally...I will be putting on a Porsche warranty after the used car check..do these cover virtually everthing or are there lots of get out clauses? Sorry for all the questions but hopefully the deal will be done soon and I will shut up!!! Migration info. Legacy thread was 26194

POST 2Original post

Never topped up oil or water in 3 years. How do you get under the bonnet? I think its easier to list what the used warranty covers than what it doesn't - in my limited but painful experience expect to pay for everything unless you have evidence to prove otherwise!! If you get a PPI make sure the dealer puts all the items right.....and dont forget about the almost worn out bits like front disks at £100 per side (not warranty) or the scaby Becker radios that go AWOL and lose their logic (not covered) or any other minor bits and pieces. But when they go well, they go very well (apologies to 993 owners) Migration info. Legacy thread was 26195

POST 3Original post

1 litre of oil could last 10,000 miles or a thousand at any time ! it's a 911, oil is there blood ! Migration info. Legacy thread was 26207
