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.

Hello All,
Im trying to get into the market of a slightly used 911TT or 911 996 model and would like to know how difficult it is to work on these cars since they are rear engine.
I have worked mostly japanese cars with front engines (changing pulleys, starter, radiator, suspension work, and other basic "engine out" type of work) and Im not really a big fan of bringing a car to the stealership.
How difficult to maintain 911TT or 911? (do you have to drop engine on almost everything that you due to lack of access?) How are the engines issues as compared to its electonics (i.e. more electronic probs than mechanical for ex.) Im aware that the engines are completely different from each other but are they both bullet proof?
need your opinion guys.
thanks in advance and a great new year 2009 to all!
They are not difficult to work on per se. We are only talking changing fluids.
Every 15, 000 miles, Porsches get what is called service, at 30,000 miles again, and so on. PO will have had service performed (or not). If not the car needs it from new owner. A PPI will let you know how much the shop (Porsches are only serviced well by experts or owners aspiring to do their best) will charge you to fix everything it needs.
If serviced when you get it, it will not require you to do anything but the 15,000 mile service after you have driven it for a while. That stuff is easy.
Techs and savy owners (some savy owners are fanatics) know that there is more serious maintenance to do at 50,000 or 60,000 miles. It is important to have the 60,000 service done and that may require a tech because of special tools/skills a DIYer hasn't yet acquired.
A well maintained 911 is a bulletproof as a car can be and it will not normally bring surprises.
Goodluck with your search!
p.s Learning the difference in its handling characteristics and whether it is truly your style of driving/car is also important. Let us know.
