what happens when you have a low milage car and the warrant expires, because of years, this should be a tsb , is there a tsb?

That would really depend on Porsche to warranty it or not...They really wouldn't have to if you're out of warranty but it would be more of a good faith thing...

Porsche is known for not taking care of this sort of "known" issues.....think about the 996 3.4..
