If you guys want to do something about this talk to 996 owners. It seems like the early 3.2L & 3.4L from the 996 all have the same exact design flaws;i.m.s. failures and cracked heads,both resulting in totaled engines. I'd recommend getting receipts and diagnosis from shops together,copy them, mail them all to one party,have them present it to Porsche and I'm sure it will get much more then 'no response' from Porsche.

When I was searching for a 986 S one my main factors was that the mileage couldn't be too low...I was afraid it blowing an engine. Now that I look back on that it's kinda sad(on Porsche's part).
