Stealth 993

2016 GT3 26kmi, new plugs and coil packs last year, just did an oil change in Feb.
In the last 2 weeks, 2 different people have commented that my car was "loud" at idle.
Was doing a SCCA local AX, car was working great, was in 1st place, finished run, car shut off and coasted to a stop.
After startup, it sounds like this, had a friend with a trailer toe me home.

Going to call this dealer this morning about it.

Surely sounds like it's toast. Good luck.

I hope that's warrantied because otherwise that sounds expensive....

I think you hit the engine lottery. Keep us posted.

I’m out of the 991.1 loop, are all owners who haven’t exploded hoping they do before the extended warranty dries up?

911dude41

I'd assume so. That 10 year warranty is generous but times-a-tickin.

Tell Porsche just to give em a 4.0 motor

Nice! Sounds like a winner to me

Nah. Just a stuck lifter. Idle it up a bit and pour a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil slowly through the carburetor. Once the fog clears, she'll be good as new...

Who wouldn't?

Car is at the dealer today, they called to say they "extensive diagnostics" to run first, and would let me know what the problem is by Friday.
Also said it might be a 6week to 6 month wait.
