I like the fact that the US have found no major faults with the DFI engines, particularly the DFI coking issue or should I say lack-of as this afflicts many new engine designs, such problems undoubtedly not covered under warranty.ORIGINAL: ChrisW Yes, the Gen II engine reputedly reduced the number of components by 40% and more importantly designed out anything that may be considered to have a less than ideal life. In fact the Turbo is now using a Gen 2 engine where previously it used the Mezger block. American Intermark racing suggests that the Gen II engines are proving to be very strong --- and so far there have been no reports that I am aware of, of Direct Fuel Injection coking issues. The success of this new engine is critical to 991 residuals which are set to run over a 14 year planned model life span .. Gen2 997, Cayman and Boxsters were merely the test benches [] As an aside, for the R the Manual was first 228g/km with the PDK 218g/km --- so a manual was £460 whilst the PDK was £260 per year road tax. Has this changed ?
