Actually I lie..I replaced all the exhaust/turbo nuts and bolts with stainless ones before they deteriorate and I removed all the header bolts and applied some expensive aero grade anti-sieze paste to the threads before they decide to weld themselves in to the heads.

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.

Afternoon,
I am looking for some words of support and encouragement please as I throw yet more money at this (amazing) car.
Last years maintenance included replacing all brake lines, PAS lines, both intercoolers, light level sensor, coolant pipes, clutch, spoiler rams, water pump, front lower arms and various other bits and bobs. That was an interesting bill.
Now we’re doing discs and pads and an oil pressure switch.
On the other hand I got a no advisory MOT pass last week.
Need to work a bit harder now to pay for it all.
Please remind me it’s worth it!
Thanks
Wow! Beautiful car
I bought an early high mileage 996 turbo about 2 years ago, I can feel your pain
However, IMHO it's certainly worth it. Especially your car in that stunning blue!
Well, the car looks stunning. Love the colour. Have never seen another one like it and I would gawp at it if it drove past me. Don't know if that's encouragement enough.
At least you know that with all of the work that you've done you've got a well sorted example.
You won't need anyone to remind you that it's worth it the next time you go out on decent run in it. A proper road trip, especially abroad is where these cars really excel.
oh that motor is absolutely worth the pain, it looks awesome in that blue and no doubt when you drive it you dont even think of how much money its cost you to keep her on the road and a smile on your face............discs and pads are perfectly normal, if you had a sack of carp at the same age you would at some point need to put on discs and pads, just with a porsche they cost more - CAUSE THEYRE BETTER.................
it makes me chuckle when you go in to an OPC they have advertising saying something silly like 92% of all porsche ever built are still on the road - no mention of the pain and anguish it takes year on year by devoted owners that keep pumping cash in to the buggers.................theyre almost masking the truth and making out all porsche are super reliable and never break down.............
Gorgeous colour..what is it?
I bought an 8k mile minter 3yrs ago and I've not spent anything on it apart from oils and a brake flush , it's like new and nothing needs doing , it drives perfect and I love it but I will most likely have to sell it this year to help fund a new business but it will be the last thing to go.
Actually I lie..I replaced all the exhaust/turbo nuts and bolts with stainless ones before they deteriorate and I removed all the header bolts and applied some expensive aero grade anti-sieze paste to the threads before they decide to weld themselves in to the heads.
Riviera blue. Mine is on 67k so it’s well used but also has a big stack of bills so maintenance hasn’t been scrimped on. Just seems to all come at once!
Hope the business is worth it!
I only have a lowly C2 and it's still worth the regular spend that these cars need. I would think having a car like yours would make it even easier to justify. Looks fantastic and I am sure it goes even better!
