Just click the link that says "View Poll Results" on the lower right hand side of the poll box.

What the??
How can some of you in the NO respondent category be answering for a 997 you dont own. Is this a vicarious poll?

Perhaps like me they were curious of the results but didn't know you could see the results without answering the poll question. Now I know.

I believe the rule of thumb with RMS leaks is:

if you haven't had one in the first 40,000 miles... your not going to get it... seems to be a manufacturing defect that shows its ugly head in the first 40,000 miles... otherwise all is well..

if you have replaced RMS early on... the above doesn't apply to you... chances are you'll get it again.

this sucks.



Quick Reply: has anyone had rms problems in their 997?
