I am going out of warranty in the next couple of months, and I don't think that I will purchase a extended warranty. Vehicle just turned 10Kmi. 2003 cab. I am the orginal owner.

What issues and TSBs should I be aware before my warranty expires? I know about RMS and intermediate shaft leakage issues.

Any other issues?

Many thanks!

The issues i've had on my 996TT and my previous Boxster S, that were covered under warrantee are: Clutch release baring faulty (common fault), ignition coils cracked, front radiator leaking (manufacturing fault), charging problems when its been raining (replaced belt tensioner and alternator, still not solved!), diverter valve leaking (common fault, not achieving boost), clutch slave cylinder failure. There may have been one or two more things, but off the top of my head............. I have had other things fail, but not covered under the warrantee ('wear and tear' items!!!) and as that is what we're talking about.......

These cars are by no means infalible........Porsche like to 'advertise' that its an everyday super car, but in reality i have found both my Porsche vehilcles to have many faults, not only in things going wrong but with possible 'improvement' opportunities being present. No doubt they saved them up for the 997 and future models........ These cars like others can be a labour of love and very intoxicating indeed!

I just went through the expiration as well. I took mine to my dealer, and had them do a low milage service and a PPI for anything out of ordinary. I advised my advisor as well that i was about to expire and to look it over. They went over the whole car for me and found nothing of concern. Might be a good idea for you if you have a good relationship with your service advisor.
