Problems with 997.1 TT

Sorry I don't see the issues with a stock car. The coolant pipes that I have heard about have all been tracked or modified cars. I don't know anyone that has Spun a Camshaft on a Turbo.

The 997.1 TT has been Bullet proof in my ownership in fact a bit boring. Our Cayman S acted up more and our Cayenne S was terrible.

Just don't get this one, it has inherent sprocket problems that are starting to show up and costs around $3000 to replace.

Agree, all extremely rare events. This is about the only turbo I would own off warranty as a DD.
