Making the greater public more aware will only make it harder ( and more costly ) to pass on to another owner who MAY have to deal with the problem more than likely out of warranty.
In the long run Porsche must realize what a turn off this persistent problem is to potential customers. I could deal with many other issues more easily but possibly needing engine replacement is just too much. First, and almost undoubtedly last, time owner here.
I would add MB to the list of other makers that would not have allowed this problem to continue for 9 yrs.
A great looking and handling car but there are just so many other choices where I don't think you have to worry so much about needing to replace leaky seals and possibly a engine.

Hi,
I hear what you're saying... and
Thank You for Your Support...
The problem is that you're trying to keep a Lid on a Dirty, Little, Secret that is already Out-of-the-Bag. It's appeared in National Print Mags numerous times and will continue to do so.
You may find some
Sucker who hasn't heard of it (so much for Seller Integrity), but in truth, you're much more likely to come across potential Buyers who've done their Homework, such as the Many Prospects who chime in here from time-to-time, not to mention that those performing PPIs will be on the lookout for it as well..
That being the case, wouldn't you be in a Better position if Porsche were urged, through LOUD vocal support of current Owners and Dealers, to come up with a Fix, Extended Warranty, or the like which you could transfer to the New Owner? I suspect you would...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
