Hi all
Thinking of buying a 997.1 turbo but the more I read the more I think there are some fundamental engine issues waiting for attention.
My research so far takes me to spun camshaft sleeves, coolant pipes corroding and popping off and turbos needing replacing. All seemingly BIG repair costs and from what I've read can happen even at 20k, over revs or not....
So, what is the realistic verdict here? Is the risk real? How much is this all going to cost me do at an experienced specialist? In any case, I'm generally not a fan of someone dropping the most valuable part of the car out and replumbing everything
Thanks in advance. :?:
