They are finalizing the paperwork and it will take 1.5 weeks for them to air-freight a new engine from Stuggart, and then another 1.5 weeks to fix. I just want to get it over and done with. Manager says I am the 2nd 987 and there are also 2 997 with this issue in Hong Kong in 2007.

That doesn't sound good, if you were in this hemisphere, I am sure some of my redneck relatives could fix your car with duct tape and WD40. Too bad you are so far away.
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?
