He, in characteristic German accent , said and I paraphrase that when the initial E engines were replaced because of the two fires there was a forensic study to determine what had gone wrong. The study looked not only at the bolts that had caused the fires but also at other angles of the engines and that several "running changes" had been applied to the F engines. He implied this was sort of the normal process.

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 ?

^^^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.

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.
