racer, thanks for the link! I haven't really heard about that D chunking.........Boy that's some serious stuff!!
I agree......These M96 engines are definitely not as reliable as the older engines. However, it's not like the old 2.7's with head stud problems or running hot, or the 3.2's with valve guide problems, these 3.4's have some catastrophic issues! RMS, IMS, D chunking, cylinder heads cracking, all at relatively low mileage......from what I can see, these are all bad engineering problems by Porsche themselves!
I know someone had mentioned on another thread before that they can't believe that Porsche has gotten away with this. If this were Honda or some other brand, there would be a class action lawsuit for engineering flaws. Basically, this is a high dollar car (when purchased new) and we should expect a lot better quality from such a high end car builder who is experienced with building great cars, and has been doing it for many many years now! Has anyone heard of a group putting together a lawsuit against Porsche for these problems? I would think this could be a pretty large group since it would include all early 996 and Boxster owners too. Don't get me wrong, I still love my 996, I am still a big fan of Porsche, and I always will be! I don't plan on, or want to initiate any lawsuit, but I was just curious if anyone else has.
