Hiya Ken, I may be completely wrong but I thought this was only a big problem with the 986 Boxster/996 911? I'm sure if I'm wrong someone more knowledegable on the subject will correct me. It's a worry for me as well as I've got my heart set on a 996 as frankly this is the only 911 I can afford, having said all that I have been driving around for the last 3 years in my supposed problem Boxster 986 taking it from 114,000 miles to 128,000 miles and not a peep. It also depends who you talk to as some have said "don't even think about it, it will fail!" (Porschapart) and others have said "it aint the problem it is made out to be, the internet has greatly exaggerated it" |

without a doubt the rms was a problem on early boxsters and the 996, but I have to ask: if a car such as a 996 has done what by now 70k? surely it was either going to break or it is over the problem? Just a thought? I know of the ongoing intermediate shaft problem (alleged) but ffs there are loads of 996 and early boxsters still running around quite happily |
