2002 C4 Cab, 26K miles, no leaks. Pleasure to drive.

I have what I believe to be the highest mileage 2002 911 in the world. I have about 68,000 miles and no RMS leak.

If I just jinxed myself, I'm going to sue you Maxy!

My 1999 C2 has 63,400 miles, many of which came from track days and never a RMS leak or problem.

Isn't this just begging the RMS gods to zap you? 22k and nothing...yet!

2000 C2 with 67,000 miles and no leaks.

2000 C2 with 35,000 miles - no leaks. My theory (admittedly, with only my 3 911s' worth of ownership experience to back me up) is that more frequently driven Porsches are less susceptible to leaks, and to problems in general for that matter. These cars like to be driven.

'99 C2 with 25.9k and no leaks. Recently inspected for leaks by IRA Porsche in "Bahston".

1999 C2 with 94k, no rms leak. Variocam cover has started to "weep" a bit

52,000 miles and no leaks, but I did have a new clutch installed at 51,500 miles and I had the dealer replace the RMS just because the new clutch was going in. I was hesitant to replace the RMS because I do believe "that if it ain't broke, don't fix it" so now I have the new style RMS....and still no leaks

StephenB! wow..that's lot of miles. I think 1999 MY is the most reliable 996 unlike some other folks believe.

His was is in km not miles. Big difference.

My 99 has 75K on it without RMS leak.

However, a couple of weekends ago I did blow the engine on the track, probably due to high G's oil starvation issue with these engines. Replacing engine right now AND putting on the oiling kit from Porsche Motorsport so hopefully it won't happen again ....

BTW, my 01 RMS went at 11K ... no futher leaks so far @ 25K

fahren affair

just curious...did you get a 'crate' motor with exchange and what's the approx. cost?

Where is that Pierre hiding..? His '01 996TT was around 166'000km (no leak) last weekend. By now there's probably at least 2k more.
