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.

I am probably wrong, I had just read that somewhere, I also am of the thinking that you replace a clutch when it needs replacing!

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

I'm still on the hunt for my C4S, really wanted something around the 40k margin. Keep getting tempted by some in the 50s but I have heard they need an expensive clutch change at the 60k service so this puts me off. Am I better off buying a 65k car which has had the big service with clutch etc? Im normally a 6 cylinder BMW man so 65 doesn't scare me as they run for ever but my Porsche knowledge could be better, what do these C4S run to. Any help appreciated, cheers.

"Im normally a 6 cylinder BMW man " jon-really!! go rinse your mouth out[ ]

POST 4Original post

I wasn't aware that there was a set time that the clutch needed to be changed e.e.g 60k miles. I thought a clutch was just changed when it had worn out? I bought my C4S at 48k miles and it had had a recent clutch, so maybe just try and find one where it's been done already?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am probably wrong, I had just read that somewhere, I also am of the thinking that you replace a clutch when it needs replacing! As for the BMW, yes, I've owned them for 5 years now, different coupes and saloons but it's time to get a Porsche now...

POST 6Original post

You will here a lot of old wives tales about the 996 and this is of of them. The clutch is changed when it is worn out - same as any other car. If you prescribe to 'change it just in case maintenance' any car will cost a fortune to run.
