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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Morning all, i purchased my lovely 99 C4 in Nov 23 and have enjoyed 6000 miles with her and made some upgrades and improvements over that time. One of the main reasons for buying her was the very well stamped and documented service history from Main dealer and reputed specialists but there were a few invoices missing that i wanted to match up to the stamps so with PI head on i emailed a few people to obtain as much info as possible. Well, today i had some very positive information indeed from Porsche Centre Wilmslow advising me that not only had she had a replacement clutch at 48k miles, she's now just clicked 111k.... but she also had a new manual gearbox fitted at the same time........!!!! Copy of invoice was attached for my records with client info redacted. A service plus other bits and pieces came to a grand total of £7500 hence the reason i could find no record in the history for clutch work and at 111k i knew she would have had a clutch at some point. I'm wondering how many miles other 996 owners have seen from a clutch and were 996 6spd gearboxes particularly fragile to need to be replaced...? Si.

POST 2Original post

gearbox replacement is quite rare to be honest, would be useful to know why they did that as gearboxes are good and last 000.000's of miles could have been a missed and mashed gearchange ?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No idea, according to the service invoice, the customer comments were " customer complained of gearbox selection issues "..... so they replaced the gearbox for £4500 .... this was in 2005 at 48000 miles.

POST 4Original post

is your car a manual or Tiptronic ?
