986 Engine Advice

[damoncam]

Hi All, First post, I have jsut discovered my recent 986 purchase has had an engine replacement at 10K, I am going to contact the OPC for more info, however does anybody have any thoughts as to why this may have happened and does this replacement make it a bad/tainted car?, also as the car is out of warranty can you advise on best practise going forward on this front?

2003 986 2.7 Meridian

extended warranty is availible for any porsche under 9 yrs old and less than 120k miles.

its more than certain that the car had RMS, search the porsche forum for more info there is alot of posts regarding this.

for a watercooled porsche to have a new engine is not a problem if you are trying to sell to somone that knows what they are talking about, for your average joe though, they will prolly see it as a bad thing.

Many thanks for the replies, i have contacted the previous owner and you were right is was the RMS, the engine was replaced under warranty and the car is 100% I have contacted OPC regarding the waaranty thing, they need to see the car then arrange the cover....PS it drives lika dream.....

Wouldn't worry about it. Mine self destructed in a puff (a big one) of smoke requiring a new engine.

Simply felt like having a new car again....clouds, silver linings etc
