Thanks for the reply. Will I need to break this engine in as you would a new engine and does the odometer got to zero?

Ok. Dealer called up today and the Intermediate Shaft was broken so they need to replace the engine. My warranty has expired but the Porsche dealer said that they will rebuild it for free. It will take about one month to do. Is there anything about engine rebuilds that I should be aware of? Is it generally a new motor they put in the car? Also any preventative measure that should be taken going forward? I have asked for more specific details from the dealer as to what he thinks caused it and if I get the info I will share in the forum.

Thanks for the valued advice so far. Dealer will let me know their opinion towards the end of the week and I will reply to this post with the latest info to keep you updated.

Thanks a lot. Will let you know how it goes and what they say. So far the dealer mentioned that he can't tell yet if it is the intermediate shaft as he thinks the engine would not start if that was broken. But will onyl know for sure when they remove the engine. He also thinks it could be the crank shaft seal which if it is would not take too long to fix. As they are going to take the engine out is there anything I can ask them to do as a preventative measure in case the problem it is not the intermediate shaft, os that I will not have that particular problem. Thanks for eth help and advice.

Thanks very much for the advice. Could you let me know what OPC stands for. Apologies as I am not familiar with the terminology.

Hi there, Need some advice and pointers. I live in Tokyo and have a 997 (2005/2006) with 15,000 kms on the clock. Bought it from the Porsche dealer 18 months ago with 8,000 kms and had a used approved warranty on car that was valid for one year. Been serviced at Porsche over the past 18 months. I was driving home from work a couple of nights ago when I heard what I tough was a little metallic rattling noise, I was driving at about 40 kms an hour when the car suddenly stopped and switched off. Emergency triptonic warning lights appeared on the dashboard. I managed to start the car again and pull over to the side. When I looked under the car all the oil poured out on to the side of the road. The tow company sent the car to Porsche. Today the Porsche dealer said they need to remove the engine and transmission to check the problem and mentioned that the oil came from inside the engine room. Going to cost U$1,500 to U$2,000 to remove the engine and check. Does this cost sound reasonable? Also any ideas what the cause is of this and how I should deal with Porsche on this issue. I am not sure if there are original factory warranties other than the Porsche approved warranty but wanted some pointers if you have any. Never had issues like this with my Boxster and clocked up over 65,000 kms on it. So very surprised with this problem.
