Hi all - about to purchase a 2018 991.2, any gotchas that I should be aware of for that year? Thanks!

 

not specifically no,

but all the .2 have water pump issues. Porsche has a 10 year warranty to that part specifically so you are good

 

Great cars and water pump is the main thing. What spec are you buying?

 

Give the sticky thread a once-over.

really? Is this new? Haven’t heard of this. Good stuff!

 

You will hate to shut it off.

 

the engine auto start/stop idle button is annoying and you have to disable it manually every time.

 

Or just switch to Individual / sport / sport + if you have sport/chrono. That's what I do.

 

Bingo - a quick click to the right on the Sport dial kills that issue pretty quickly.

 

Just add the t-design memory module. It remembers all your settings for the center console buttons.

It's great. Easy diy too.

RE: the op question. My experience mirrors everyone else. I went through 2x water pumps, but everything else has been great.

 

This can be programmed out with an ECU tune

 

you'll have a hard time wiping the smile off your face every time you drive it!

 

Not being able to drive, you will go thru withdrawls in the winter time

 

that's really easy to solve though
