Hi All;
I`m new to this forum so hope i have posted this correctly.
REALLY NEED SOME HELP
I'm looking for some advice on my Porsche 997 Gen 1, (Engine Issue)
i purchased the car last year it has approx 98000 miles on the clock 54 plate.
i work overseas so the car is used very rarely, i have just been home and while i was driving the car i heard an engine noise, and as i wasn't 100% sure of the cars history i took the car to a so called specialist.
They offered me a free full health check and i also told them my concerns regarding the engine
they told me its a common problem on these cars the piston liners need replacing, i accepted there diagnostics and let them do the above work.
after getting the car back i drove it steady, but after driving only a few miles i started to hear a tapping noise from the engine then all of a sudden the car over rev`ed and stopped with oil pressure lights etc coming on.
the car is now back with them and the engine has blown itself apart (internally)
I have read on the internet that on these cars the piston liners are a common fault also Intermediate shaft bearing, and these should be changed as a matter of priority if you are replacing the piston liners.
so as you can see i need a little advise on this matter they are saying the car was over rev`ed thus causing it to fail and explode
I'm saying they are specialists and should of known about the bearing problem and this has caused the failure.
L am thinking i may need an independent engineer on my side
Do you offer a service like this as in take a look at there findings as i know they are going to want me to pay for the repairs.
If you feel I'm wrong and I am at fault that is fine but i believe i am correct
and would really appreciate some help and advice
Many Thanks
