Poll: RMS and Engine problem questionaire

[dklumb]

2000 Boxster S, 6-speed, purchased used 9/03 with 19,000 miles.
Driven most winter days in Wisconsin unless snow is too deep 90 miles/day to work. Driven sparingly in summer. (Riding Harley instead)
1st RMS leak at 21,000, 2nd one at 42,000. Seems to be a pattern here?
Not driven on track, but given a work out on occasion.
Maintenance every 10K.

bought the dreaded 99 model year w 17k on it. drove it til it had 34k. never leaked. it never leaked or blew an engine. maybe the previous owner had that experience but not me. so official no.

just switched to a 2003 w 12k miles. no leaks first 4 days. haha

[skillfull!]

2.5 boxster. 68000miles. a few coolent problems but no RMS yet.
I was told that if your car is over 50000 miles you are less likely to suffer from engine disaster as this only affected late 98 and early 99 boxsters.

Hi,

George Bernard Shaw once said the British and Americans are: " Two Peoples separated by a common language". How true...

In the UK, the expression to describe one's not tempting Fate is Touch Wood, while here in the US, we say Knock on Wood.

So, You're both correct depending upon where on the Planet you're standing
when you say it...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
