Where can I buy a 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo?
For almost identical performance, a 2001 911 Turbo can be picked up at the local Porsche dealer for half the price. With such similar capabilities, it is surely not coincidence that the 911 Turbo, in the process of being modified from the regular 911 Carrera, takes many design cues from the 959.
What causes an oil leak in a Porsche 911?
A failing air oil separator (aos) is the likely cause of rear main seal failure and oil leaks, as it is in other VAG cars. Crankcase vacuum exceeds the normal range in the engine under heavy acceleration and sucks in air damaging the rear main seal.
How can I tell if my Porsche 911 has a problem?
An early telltale sign can often be one exhaust tailpipe being more sooty black than the other. The sound of this problem is not a tick like a bad lifter, it’s more a rhythmic knock and usually shows up first on the passenger bank of the flat 6 engines.
Can a Porsche 911 be used as a daily driver?
Porsche 911s are often garage queens and not driven as much as many other cars – rarely are they daily drivers. During any down period the car will continue to use some battery power – in Porsche’s case, usually more than would be expected from similar vehicles.
Is there a problem with my Porsche 911 Carrera?
This “D-chunk” problem seems ironically to occur mostly in gently driven cars. 911 Carreras that are driven hard at the track or on the street do not tend to see this type of damage. At least with respect to the track cars, one theory is that these cars tend to have their oil changed much more often.
