Eversince I collected this car from Birmingham from the dealer (not Porsche) I have had a problem with traces of OIL in the Water
By traces I mean a few lumps of emulsified water in the header tank. Tiny emulsified traces in the Oil Filler which apparently is quite usual
Car 966 3.4 Auto was 96000 miles Excellent service history
The cat had work carried out on the gearbox (auto) which meant the Gearbox was removed but not the engine. last January/March.
Didnt really worry too much about the oil until when on Holiday in Coningsby with the visit of the Canadian Lancaster I notice serious oil in the water.
Took it to 911 Sport in Horncastle who diagnosed an Oil Cooler which was replaced without removing the engine at a cost of 200.00 for the unit and about 1000 to fit.
Since the we have done around 1200 miles and have still had oil residue in the header tank and have fully flushed the system 3 times.
Initially no loss of oil or problems with water in the oil.
I have been told it could take months to clear this residue.
Since Christmas the problem has returned. I always remove the oil on the surface of the header tank.
Checked the Oil and added a good 1 litre of oil. Ran down to Hereford and Back and had to remove quite a large amount of emulsified oil from the Header Tank.
REmoved this and topped up the system
On FRiday I went to Whitchurch about 15 miles from her and when I got back the next day removed 20 teaspoons of oil from the system and gave up (teaspoon was easiest way to get it out
I am hoping it is the same problem as this is covered under the guarantee ie Faulty oil cooler and or fitting'
It is about 160 miles to Horncastle from here. Should I expect them to collect it.
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE (Head Gasket, Head) ?
I have been in discussions with 911Sport about the continued problem but can I have this done locally and expect them to pay if it is the fault
I cannot afford to pay for anything else till I get some money through in a couple of months.
Do I get the car to Porshe911.
I do not expect any problems with Porsche 911 the only problem is its so far away
Now done 105000 miles
Thanks
