Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. 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.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

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.

Obviously when the engine evolved into a 3.6 in the facelift it's known to have had some elements (such the intermediate shaft) strengthened, I suppose I'm wondering if the 3.4 underwent any similar changes midway through its life.

There was thread running on PH recently in which replacement engine prices were discussed, as a 3.4 owner I was interested to see two 3.4 options available with quite a significant difference in cost;

I appreciate that the 2000-2001 engine uses the fly by wire throttle but does anyone know what (if any) the other differences are?

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There was thread running on PH recently in which replacement engine prices were discussed, as a 3.4 owner I was interested to see two 3.4 options available with quite a significant difference in cost; 3.4 litre 1997 - 1999 , £8250 + vat (£9694) 2000 - 2001 fly by wire throttle engine , £6420 +vat (£7543) I appreciate that the 2000-2001 engine uses the fly by wire throttle but does anyone know what (if any) the other differences are? I remember reading an article from AutoFarm in which it mentioned that Porsche were constantly evolving the M96 engine. Obviously when the engine evolved into a 3.6 in the facelift it's known to have had some elements (such the intermediate shaft) strengthened, I suppose I'm wondering if the 3.4 underwent any similar changes midway through its life. Interestingly for those that didn't see the PH thread the newer the engine the cheaper it is :? Cheers
