Has any body else experienced the following with their 996 TT or did I get a Friday aftenoon car !!

Ran out fuel due to faulty computer software causing wrong readouts on the on-board trip computer - it has been re-programmed, but still not accurate.

Both rads behind the front air in-takes rusted through within 12 months due to the build up of damp leaves. Replaced under warranty.

Major water leak into driver's foot well.

The metal Porsche logo center caps on 3 wheels came off due to wrong spec glue (replaced under warranty).

Noisy cam shaft bearings on start up (fixed under warranty)

I dread to think of the cost out of warranty!!

None of those problems but I have experienced a problem with rattling trim and an air leak near the passenger side rear window. Yet to be solved fully after a couple of attempts.

I've also had a problem with the passenger side lower door mirror trim and a couple of wheel nuts replaced for going rusty.

Cracking front brake discs aren't really a warranty issue, more razzing the crap out of the car at Bruntingthorpe airfield.

Don't know about the 996 but water leaks seemed to be a design feature on my 993.

In the space of a year had them in both the drivers and passengers footwell (different causes). Eventually fixed after yet another go round with AFN Guildford - but that's another story and I don't want to bore you all.
