The stats your dealer told you are interesting. So we hear that there are four Porsches in HK that have had this problem so far in '07. It would be very useful to know how many 987s and 997s there are in HK. If the answer is 6, I would say this is the worst problem ever, if it is 6 million, this isn't really a problem worth noting. I am sure the number is somewhere in between, but where? Also, are there any other factors unique to HK that could aggrivate or prevent this problem?

hm.... they dont really provide any stats from the factory on sales and inventory figures. i would conservatively estimate anywhere between 4000-8,000 porsches on the road with at least 200-300 each of 987 and 997 on the road. its not a lot i know...but this place is in reality smaller than New York City ...! also this is only 1 of 2 service centres here.

its well documented that its pretty polluted and humid here, maybe that affects the engines. however i had my 9 yr-old 986 for 2 yrs and it had ZERO problems
