If that hasn't got you using your imagination nothing will,
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Outcome qualification: Negation, uncertainty or missing explicit repair resolution overrides the raw extraction signal.
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.

Long story short, some time ago (months) my car develop problem with warm/hot engine start, sometimes was ok sometimes NOT it was look like weak battery. I took my Porsche on holiday fantastic ride... but the problem began to appear more often and just before my planed trip back to UK it turned out that it was the engine's fault to be more precise-engine on my car decide to seized.
At fault crankshaft bearings.
I have been told 100K miles and everything above is just luck.
NOT A FUN :sad:
Luckily for my wallet I manage to find a Porsche/BMW M-Power magician who repairs and improves these engines. Overall cost of rebuild with night out in Krakow £4000, NEW-nikasil cylinder liners, pistons+audi rings (apparently better material), crankshaft bearings I haven't been told exactly but also better material has been used.
Yes all in, it was cheaper and no warranty if I only send out engine, so I drop my car at garage Saturday morning and collect it on Saturday evening next week 1 year warranty on engine, overall I'm happy with price time and service from garage :thumbs: also Krakow Is amazing city.
edit.
forgot to tell - as a surprise engine 116K miles and no bore scoring
I can say ..
The engine cases have been professionally shot blasted and painted ..
You have new liners that look the same as any new ones that have been replaced that i have ever seen ..
You have new pistons ..
crank i can't say but from the pictures then it seems a very professional job ..
Quite frankly i'm amazed at the cost of all this work and a weeks turn around ..
You won't get that in this country .. not even close .

I feel a mention of the firm's name is in order ..

I don't come here to represent where i work but to help out .. and this garage is certainly doing that .
IMHO of course
EDIT ..
Crank bearing seizure and a slow start is a little bit rare so not something to start thinking you have definitely got and worry over .
OK Dr, thanks ðŸ™
Same time next month ? Maybe something wheel bearing related ?
Oooooh ooooooh ! Just remembered I got shot by a stone in the NS condenser on Sun
👹
Car started making a terrible whining whirring sound, any way,,,, at risk of derailing this post and the excellent work carried out within !!!!
Maybe we could all start using this place ??
I'll tell you what .. get two other people that agree with you and don't want me to answer any more questions on this site and i'll happily spend the 16 hours per week doing something else instead of trying to help out here .
Challenge set .
