Porsche911Carrera2

Regards to everyone here! My car is a 1999 911 C2 6-spd Manual with 47,000 miles and NO LEAKS. Yesterday while accelerating in fourth at 6000 RPM I shifted into fifth and stepped on it (yes I was doing about 130 MPH) all of a sudden a huge puff of white smoke blew from my exhaust. Immediately I pulled over and saw oil dripping from underneath. I re-started the car and it sounds healthy just smokes very bad. I had it towed to the dealer (the car is under full warranty) and they are checking it. Anyone had similar issue on their 996?

Best regards!

Mine had the same problem. I got a lot of smoke on hard acceleration - actually looked like a smoke screen behind me. I did not have any lights or anything come on and the car drove normal afterwards. I only saw the smoke maybe twice. I drove easy until I took it in. If I remember correctly the problem was something do with the seal around the spark plugs. Under hard acceleration it was blowing oil out around the plugs. It was all f ixed under Porsche CPO warranty no problem. I did not have any oil dripping though that I could see. that would worry me.

I can check the paperwork when I get home tonight to see exactly what it was. As I recall it was not a big job to correct, but it would have been expensive without the warranty.

If this is a legit post, you are lucky you have a warranty.

I had same problem it was just a broken hose...

Oh it's a very legit post. I purchased the car in early summer and bought a 3 year/36,000 miles full warranty for $2500 which I think will save me here. I only have to pay a $100 deductible.

OK, the service advisor came back with a busted Oil Separator which was causing all the smoke. At the same time they noticed a leaking rear main seal and broken passenger side window regulator. It will all be taken care of under my extended warranty and cost me $100 deductible. The Oil Separator ($600), rear main seal ($1300) and the Window Regulator ($350) = $2250. My warranty costed $2500 so it's almost paid for itself. I'm a happy camper now!!!

Wow - that was a good break. Nice job on the warranty - now you can drive it like you stole it for 33 more months worry free.

How about a proper intro and some pics now before the Pic Police get on you?

^^^ Tim you must have these instructions ready as a 'copy and paste' setup

Man, I did that over 2 years ago since a lot of newbies kept asking "how do I post a pic?" This way they can't use the excuse "I don't know how!" and I can give them **** if they don't post. It's all in my best interest.

Tim, I usually do the same in Soloporsche forum. Though I did a little DIY (to upload pics, never read it...)
