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.

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

Hi, am close to buying a 04 996tt with under 15k miles, one owner car,from a Porsche dealer. Car is very clean and appears all original with no accidents or issues.. Dealer says car is mint. Have requested a dme report, only concern I have is they say history isn't available, will ask again for them to contact owner for records. A PPI from them, seems pointless, unless I bring it to another P-shop. Since car has such low mileage, what would need to be changed? Usual items like Coolant lines, clutch cylinders? Thanks

POST 2Original post

I believe a dealer should be able to bring up records using the car's vin #, also a PPI is very important - so bring it to non-bias shop to inspect. Let us know if you decide to pick it up; sounds amazing with just 15k miles! -Dmitry

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thks agreed. Dealer is to contact orig owner for records and will provide DME report. Car actually had original tires still on it, they just replaced them. If all checks out it will have a new home.

POST 4Original post

I bought my 02 with 18k on it. After 1k, it developed a drip from the oil tank. The drip got worse and necessitated a new tank. To do that you need to drop the motor. While I'm in there, welded the coolant pipes and had new turbos installed (one of the originals was leaky). 26k now and all is well.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Okay just received dme report and ignitions appears ok, but the mileage seems off?? Number of ignitions range 1 - 630 @ 320 hrs Number of ignitions range 2 - 5 @ 251 hrs Total hrs 397 Control unit coding shows Total distance is 17838km (11084 miles), however the odometer has 20221km (12564 miles). Shouldn't they be the same?? Regarding the coolant lines a nearby P-shop recommends welding them at a scary cost of 5k.. thanks..
