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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
I think from prior posts on similar questions, the consensus has been to set aside some cash to cover the potential costs and Budget approx £1k per year.

Suggestion · Original poster
I've owned my 2002 996 with FSH & current mileage of 73k for just short of a Year, when I bought it I negotiated with the Porsche Specialist Dealer that they set me up with a Warranty that cost them circa £500 through a company called Auto Protect based in Harlow.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've owned my 2002 996 with FSH & current mileage of 73k for just short of a Year, when I bought it I negotiated with the Porsche Specialist Dealer that they set me up with a Warranty that cost them circa £500 through a company called Auto Protect based in Harlow. Had no issues all year covering just 4K miles, now received the warranty renewal notification, which I guess will be similar cost, however thought I'd ask my local OPC (who recently serviced it giving a good thumbs up as a sound car) & got the pretty strong message I should have a warranty! However they don't recommend anyone & said go on the forums & see what people say? Does anyone have any views to help please? ... Should I renew or is there any better organisation I should switch to? Thanks Adam

Only if the warranty covers IMS and Bore scoring if it doesnt, then no point.

POST 3Original post

Take a look at Hartech, they have a scheme covering Engine woes. I think from prior posts on similar questions, the consensus has been to set aside some cash to cover the potential costs and Budget approx £1k per year. Don't think there is a right or wrong way here.
