i own an 05 c2s,40,740 miles. i ordered this car new. i have done my scheduled maintenance, never tracked, one autocross. always dealer serviced in socal. i was do'n about 60 mph when i looked in my rear view mirrow and saw a large puff of blue smoke, engine death, turns out. 24 hours since event, dealer has informed me the engine seized and will get back to me with porsche's ruling, can't wait!! i will keep you guys updated on this situation. anyways i love this website and have viewed it often since purchasing my beautiful 997. have a happy new year...later, no mods, totally stock..

 

Did you have any Mods on the car?

 

hope it's covered. that's really scary to even think.

 

sheesh thats all ya need to wait for judge judys ruling

 

ARETM- What does that stand for? Is ARET your 1st Name?

 

Mr Pink correct. Thats the first name the M is the start of the surname.

 

OUCH! That Sucks!

 

Porsche will cover it. ESPECIALLY if you have a good relationship with your service rep.

 

Wow - sorry to hear about this rare situation....keep us posted!

 

As DW once said
"Sometimes they just done blow up"

 

Ouch. Sorry to hear that man!

If my engine blows up, the dealer will just laugh at me . . .

 

Sorry to hear about that.. unless you have some mods it should be covered. With Porsche if there is a failure anywhere in the engine; they will most likely replace the whole thing.

Although, you would need to break-in your engine again.

 

Why wouldn't they cover it?

 

update; talked to svc. rep. he said my warranty claim has been denied cus of 6 type 2 overevs. 4 were not that bad one should have destroyed the engine( about 3-4 months ago) and the other was plenty bad. svc. rep. suggested that i call porsche customer svc.800 #. i did , blah, blah, blah. no help. maybe i don't deserve to have this warranty claim validated, i guess not, but i am go'n to try and move up the chaim of command, maybe find a simpathethic ear to a porsche lover.

 

I feel for ya man; best of luck with this. Keep us posted.
