M96 Engine Failure Mode List

[Giller]

It's all well and good to share - misery does love company - but I for one hope to never experience anything off this list.

Remember people - there are a TON of Boxsters on the road that still have a lot of original parts on them with lots of KMs and are still going strong. Many still even have their original IMS.

I still bet that it's a minority of owners that experience something on this list.

The second most interesting part of this thread is the reaction to it. The most interesting part is the data presented on failures. As an engineer I have zero (0.000) capacity to feel any emotion about this topic as I view it as purely technical data and am thankful for the information. Some folks clearly have an emotional investment in this data which frankly completely baffles me. Guess that's why I'm no fun at parties.
