996TT Bore Scouring

Hi All


Can anyone enlighten me to the likelihood of bore scouring in 996TTs. I have a 2001 996TT which used about 1 litre of oil in 1 day while covering 500kms. I took it to my regular mechanic who consulted with a specialist independent Porsche garage. Thet said that from what was described it is likely to be bore scouring and I would need to get the engine rebuilt. They said it is a common problem and that they currently had 2 others they were working on with the same issue.
I was aware of this being an issue for the 996 Carreras but hadn't heard of it being a common issue for the Mezger engines of the turbos. Interested in your feedback.
Thanks.
