I have to order a new oil pan for my 997 due to an idiot over-tightening my drain plug. I'm not sure if it was the shop at my last oil change or the one before. Regardless, the pan has to be changed due to a drip from the drain plug/crush washer. I have shopped around and RP is significantly less expensive for what they claim is a genuine Porsche part. About $400 less after gaskets, shipping, etc.

Anyone use them and have any problems? Good experience, bad experience? Looking for feedback.

TIA, PDawg.

 

Assuming you can't just rethread the old pan?

 

I didn't know that was possible. I'm not even sure why it leaks considering it just uses straight thread and a crush washer but it does. Tried Aluminum washers, copper washers. Torqued to 19 ft/lbs, torqued the $%#@ out of it. Nothing made a difference.

I had the same problem on my Boxster before I sold it. Both cars went to the same shops for oil changes. One of them damaged both pans and they both leaked. Conveniently right before I put the Boxster up for sale, which the PPI properly caught. I had the PPI shop replace the pan as a contingency of the sale. They tried to change washes and inspect the pan but couldn't find anything wrong. It just leaked no matter what they tried until the pan was replaced. I just assume the pan needs to be replaced on my 997 as well.

 

What’s the cost for shipping? Aren’t they in France?

 

About $55.00

 

It leaks because they’ve most likely over- tightened the drain plug, rather than torqued it up to the correct torque.

Personally I’d take the car to a well regarded and recommended Porsche independent, or better still a restoration shop, to have the oil pan thread repaired, rather than the clowns who look to have damaged the oil pan threads on your cars twice already, because if they can’t do something as simple as tighten a drain plug to the correct torque, they sure as hell can’t be trusted to carry out a thread repair properly, especially on something as critical as an oil pan thread.

With regards to the original question of this thread, I've ordered from RosePassion without any issues.

 

If it's just the drain plug seal, the bonded sealing washers Wayne linked to should take care of it. I've used them for leaky fuel and oil banjo fittings and plugs in the past with superb results.

Rose Passion is a fine company though.

 

I have a couple of extra oil sumps from 2006 997.1's. $250 each plus shipping from 04105, Falmouth, ME.

I think Prariedawg has 997 2. Sumps are different.

 

Last year I bought two Fuchs 8" wheels. Great price and reasonable shipping. DHL got them to me in abour 4 days. I was worried too but checked them out. Legit.

 

The only issue I've ever had with Rose Passion is that they don't update the parts they have available. Several times I've placed orders and several days later they came back and said they don't have the parts. Other than that, no problems.

 

Rose Passion is awesome and my go to for a 991 lip.

Usually order it and get it in 3 days here in the Texas.

 

I had a bad experience with Rose Passion in december. I ordered a new cooling pump, original, 560euro...But they send me an aftermarket part, made by Geba. Initially they tried to convince me that is identical to the original...but after they had my pictures, they asked me to send the aftermarket pump ( shipping payed be me ), and refound the money
