| Description of the problem | Car was bought as certified porsche in mar 2011 with 66k miles; current miles 165k miles; driven approx. For 100k miles in 6 years. Engine clicking noise was getting louder and louder. Told by mechanics that the "f" cyn. Walls are scored and engine needs to be replace. Checked on-line for this condition with other v-8 porsche owners to find that it's very common. This seems like a design issue and safety wise ( no power, miss firing and stalling). A $100k new should not have a v-8 engine that has a design defect that is worth less at such low miles. |
