I had a new RMS under CPO at 50k in April. Just took it in for the 75k service, and they tell me it needs another RMS...
I'll call them back to check they will be using the new seal, before I go off warranty at 100k some time in 2007.

Fello car nutz,
Shopping for a 996-2 Tip Cab (roomier vs. coupe).
What is the greatest duration & highest mileage covered by CPO limited warranty?
Are Tips more, less, or about equally prone to RMS leak?
Thanks all, & happy new year!

I see less tips with rms leaks, but ive never run the numbers, it could just be due to seeing less tiptronic cars in general. But i think that not having the input shaft pushing on the the crank reduces the the rms leaks

- If sold while under the new car warranty, Coverage is up to 6 years or 100,000m/160,000km total , whichever comes first
- If sold once the new vehicle warranty has expired, Coverage is 2 years from the date of sale or up to 100,000m/160,000km, whichever comes first

What does RMS stand for?

I have searched the forums for 'RMS', and understand that leaks on numerous people's cars, but cannot find what RMS actually refers to.

I got the new seal over a year and a half ago, and have not had a drip since. What is the consensus?
