He suggested that the engine needs to cop a bit now!

Porsche Centre Melb. have been awsome (to say the least), I dont mind paying a bit more for the service....it's worth it!!!!

Thanks for contact. I'm at Laurieton just south of Port Macquarie.
Like you I am all praise for Porsche Aust. and their Insurance people Mondial. My work was done under the Extended Warranty.
However, why do they have an engine fail at 27000kms.in this day and age? In my case the "jack shaft" bearing failed and cracked the casing dumping about 8 L. of oil.
Reading these responses their seems to be opinions as to whether the new engine is really new or a rebuild. Do you have any info. on this?
