That is awesome. This of course makes complete sense, and explains why F engines are not imploding like the E's are. It also explains why the E's get the longer warranty. I am not worried anymore.

 

New engine being ordered to replace my E

 

That is awesome. Problems with E's are going to lead to new engines in most cases. I think this is pretty close to confirmed.

 

Finally. Welcome to the "G" club.

 

Out of curiiosity, Will all these engine replacements cause more aggressive depreciation? And what is porsche doing ti warranty the new engines?

 

Need some help

Looking to get a gt3 but after reading this thread , it adds some in-trepidation

From what I see online for sale and what I read here

Majority of 2015 are "f" which are better than E but not excluded from having issues

I could not find a for sale 2015 online w a vin w a G , do they exist ?

And there are just a few 2016 n all have a G , so not a lot choices when looking for particular color and option list

What should be my priority go w 2016 and comprise color n options or look for 2015 w an F or E w replaced engine ?

 

Oops forgot

Or go w 2014 w replaced engine

What would be the best route to pursue

 

^^^If you are interested in a 2015 with a "G" code engine I believe forum member jwalton has an exceptional example going up for sale shortly.

 

Get the color and options you want, just make sure car has a warranty. Then extend the warranty when needed.

Don't let the fear make you driving the color/options you don't really want.

I am the one with E engine being in repairs right now. But I would not trade my car for MY16 white or whatever other color, including any possible PTS. I probably have a bad taste, but still.

 

and porsche sucks again.

no surprise really. They can't build a proper engine to save their lives. Issues with every single damn motor they build, save maybe the standard 9A1.

 

Isn't Jon's a 15 and therefore an F engine? I though only 16's had g engines.

 

...........mmmmmmm....... Thanks for your input.

 

I know it's a G engine, he mentioned it during our discussion, I assumed it was a 15, he's had it well over a year.

 

I would go for a 2016 to avoid the known "E" and "F" issues. Wrap it the color you like.

 

Well my "G" engine arrived last Tuesday as expected. The mechanic had the old out and the new one installed in under a day. He said the new motor came with everything attached including a new A/C unit. I let him take it home and put some mileage on and of course verify no leaks and nasty messages. Got her on Thursday and runs like nothing ever happened. Unfortunately I was told I need to put at least 600 miles on her before tracking. I have track this weekend and not enough time to get the mileage. I've attached photos of the new engine and the broken pieces the mechanic found in and around the engine.
