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

After 2 and half years of Rollercoaster ownership of my 996 i have decided to move on. As mush as i love the car, still think it looks incredible and still gives me the buzz when i drive it, the time has come, so moving to the 997 C2S tip next week. Only time will tell if i have made the right choice or not! I would like to thank all those have given me advice on here espeically Richard 'the great'
Good luck Liam, I hope it gives you less trouble. Regards.
Sorry to see you go, Liam, but onwards and upwards! Just two pieces of advice: Get a decent PPI done, preferably with a borescope exam, and get a lower temperature thermostat fitted. And enjoy it, of course!
Car is 4 years old, buying from my Father [ ] So history 'fairly' well known [ ] Has gor extended warranty on for another 9 months so hopefully that will help with any problems. As far as Temp therostat, why would that be required?
Aha! Lifetime warranty from Dad then! A lower temperature thermostat gets the water circulating earlier, which helps reduce the hot spots around cylinders 5 & 6, which are susceptible to bore scoring due to localised overheating. I got mine from Hartech. It was about £90 inc vat and delivery, so not cheap, but I thought it was good preventative maintenance.
Great thanks Richard. Are they easy to fit?
Not too difficult to fit, but bleeding the system afterwards can be a pain. I cheated, and did it at my friend's workshop. Much easier to get at on a car lift. The kit from Hartech comes with a gasket, by the way.
