It wasn't a difficult point to grasp
Audi can replace a 11 year old engine that they put in likely 100,000's of cars around the world.
Yet Porsche decide to stick 2 fingers up & leave anyone out of warranty with a 5 figure bill after they didn't design their engines with sufficient cooling / strong enough internals etc.
really not to argue but here you go...Audi can replace a 11 year old engine that they put in likely 100,000's of cars around the world.

I think except japanese brands, I do not think any of these car manufacturers properly build their cars anymore, or they care about the customers at all!

Did you read that article? Audi already offered him a brand new engine free of charge but he is just being a prick about it. I think except japanese brands, I do not think any of these car manufacturers properly build their cars anymore, or they care about the customers at all!

I'm no expert but all engines wear out eventually. Is bore scoring just a form of wear or is it caused by the way it's driven or just a bad luck thing. Maybe that car has had an engine replacement already and we just dont know about it. 10 to 11 sounds cheap anyway for a 4S but I'm not sure it's cheap enough to get me in the game.
From reading Hartech’s posts and talking to the various Indi’s over the years, Porsche Bore scoring is premature engine wear caused by inadequate cooling design. If it was just normal wear then it would affect both cylinder banks. As it stands it usually only affects cylinders 6 and 5 as they are last in the coolant flow path. It’s pointless re-sleeving bank 1 at rebuild but people do it as it’s only a marginal extra cost whilst the engine is stripped down and I’d imagine many paying £12k for the full rebuild intend keeping the car a long time so want the assurance of durability.

Wow. He sounds like a complete cocksocket. I'm no fan of Audi but it sounds like they are trying to do the right thing. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3052043/T...

Everything on FB comes up as km but I’d really miles. Noticed the ad and it looks good though there were a few on 70-80k last year for a similar price that hung around.
For a multi billion dollar platform it's pretty poor, piss poor in fact, than they can't cope with miles.... Considering its origin is in the USA.

Interesting. Thanks. I should know the answer to this but why is the cooling so bad on the 3.4 croc and not so bad on the 2.7?
Simply the bigger engine creates more heat
But also there is something about the bigger pistons or bores making the block thinner between which also makes it hotter
Also I think the bigger bang from the bigger engine especially at lower revs applies more force from the piston side against the bore where it wants to go sideways out the clock instead of up and down as per the stroke of the engine
I think the shorter stroke of the smaller engine creates less force on the side at low revs as the piston doesn't go as far down the bore

At least it's a C2, I'd hazard a guess that many Tip Cabs are also C4 A tip cab 3.6 "taken in part-ex".

I know the Tip box is not very PH but if it is more robust than the manual then it could make a good daily. I know I am a bit of a bore about the manual boxes on these cars being a bit flaky but that said - again - if the Tip is less flaky then add in that you never need to change the clutch and flywheel ever [and the slave cylinder, clutch fluid pipe, manual shifter cables etc etc etc] and it could make the better daily run about than a manual. Surely a 996 with the tip box and regular fluid changes could be the thinking, working, economically minded man's daily driver 996.
I wasn't aware of any of that. That's a massive tick in the box if that's the case. So why don't the clutches need changing, no clutch? Sorry for the lack of knowledge. That would free up running funds for things like suspension and chassis tweaks and maintenance. The 996 is becoming more appealing every day for me.

The Tip box looks to have a torque convertor which is full of oil and transmits drive from the engine to the gearbox so there is no clutch at all. Usually autos are more relaxing to drive in heavy traffic but are slower and less fuel efficient than manuals. You also have to change the oil and they have solenoids etc than can break. No idea of the common tip faults but think I've read here that the tip cars are more likely to bore score.That would free up running funds for things like suspension and chassis tweaks and maintenance.

unless in sport mode or 1st is manually selected the Tip starts off in 2nd gear which puts greater strain on the engine and can increase the chance of borescore and (to generalise a bit) the bigger the engine the greater the chance basically...Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
