"I am getting it towed to a Porsche specialist next week"
If you let us know the name of your "Porsche Specialist" , the guys here will let you know if he deserves the title.
The are lots of places that service & repair Porsches. Very few would qualify as both honest & competent M96 experts.M96 is the tech name for the engine your car has. It is significantly different from many other Porsche engines. And it is quirky -hence the need for an M96 specialist ,not just a Porsche specialist.
