Any ideas? Anybody?
Hmmm.....Well, nobody knows nothing? I sure don't. I guess the message from here is don't hold back with your 996. Drive it plenty, and that way, maybe that lifter problem will show up while it's still in warranty. It was a second car for me, and I think I really made a mistake letting it sit so much. You can bet I am going to drive it a lot during the coming weeks, if for no other reason than to see if the local dealer bozos have correctly diagnosed the problem, or if I am just going to be back in there again in a few miles, with the check engine light back on.
Incidentally, when I tried to get more information as to how they reached their decision; i.e., how they knew it wasn't just a flywheel sensor, vacuum leak, just needed an oil flush (all a LOT less expensive), they advised that they had taken both valve covers off and watched the lifters, so they knew that this one (#6) wasn't closing as it should.
Wish me luck.
