How's This Rebuild History?
1988 Targa, 66k miles. CA car. Three owners. Now at an independent dealer. 65k miles currently. I have not personally seen the car. The dealer sent me this history to check out.
Summary: *61k miles: engine rebuild due to overheating problem (per report of the dealer). Repair facility is not a Porsche certified facility, engine was sublet out, don't know where. *2 months prior had tranny rebuilt *Axle replaced, assuming it was right side (due to clunking noise on hard right turns) *10 months after engine rebuild, battery again replaced (was replaced with engine rebuild) *This past Sept., all plugs (engine was missing-diagnosed with incorrect plugs), distributor cap and rotor, and #2 fuel injector were replaced by a different repair facility. My concerns: Why would the tranny need to be replaced with only 60k miles? Why battery replaced after less than a year? Incorrect spark plugs and bad fuel injector after engine rebuild? Has the cause of the overheating been addressed? |
