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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thought I'd share some words and pics of my 996 turbo. Bought it about 6 weeks ago after a (really) long hunt and saving but feels great to finally drive the thing. I went out for a drive tonight and the only thing I don't understand is how other people still find the need to tune it further. Mine is a standard turbo and every time I get back home, I just wonder how long it'll be before I get a diet of prison food 24/7. Anyway, loving everything else about it. Feels so organic compared to a lot of other cars I drove recently (some of which are much faster). If you have a chance to get a good example, don't hesitate to buy one. I know there are a few of you looking out there so my advice is spend a lot of time checking the car and have an inspection done if you are buying privately (sorry for stating the obvious). The one thing I was caught out by was the over-revs (1 and 2) check performed by a "reputed" specialist. They could not tell me the duration at those revs so had to get a second opinion so watch out for that one. Now, just getting used to the "odd" noises that a lot of us are paranoid about. I can recommend the led sidelight upgrade as well if you haven't done it. See the pic Just need to try and hold on to my licence now.... Ash

POST 2Original post

Nice post. As I recently picked up a 997T I know what you mean about worrying whether visiting hours would fit in with the family routine. Not sure about your mezger, but sometimes mine sounds like a bag of spanners and I find the OCD kicking in 'I'm sure than noise wasn't there yesterday' ...

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Oh yes - had some funny noise below 2000rpm today, think it's the heat shields letting go but who knows. I would think the 997TT is better built overall so at least you don't have to put up with the squeak I am desperately trying to find in my front bulkhead!
