My 997 C2S has just broken down....after 6 months and 2k mil

Sad to say, leaving work and just as I was about to enter the roundabout, the car stalled (its manual too). Wouldn't start. Left it for a while and started again, but cut out again.

Hope its nothing major and something related to a fuel problem.

Very sad.... waiting for the tow truck to take me home

Most probably it's computer/electrical related. Despite the fact that the car is under warranty, it hurts. Sorry bud, but it's a car and these thing happen. Your baby will be fixed back to you soon

Let's hope it's something minor (like a loose coil wire!)

Keep us posted- hope you're back on the road promptly

Re: My 997 C2S has just broken down....after 6 months and 2k

I'm hoping it's a quick fix and you're done with PITA unexpected trouble for the rest of your ownership. A few years ago my brand new BoxsterS went bonkers a few weeks after getting it. Seems a burr from some plastic part made the thing stick and the warnings made me think the engine exploded. I guess the "deburred" it, it never stuck again and I haven't had any problems since.

I had that happen to my ML and it turned out to be a bad alternator

6 months and 2k miles? Blimey you need to start getting some longer journeys in, as that is a waste. 10 months and 9000 miles later

Re: My 997 C2S has just broken down....after 6 months and 2k

Agreed - once I get it back...my company BMW 535D will be spending more time in the garage.

PS - Porsche Hatfield only started to look at my car at 16:00 today - very disappointed.

Fingers crossed for the phone call tomorrow with the diagnosis.

Thats the attitude and I bet neither of our cars have broken down. Cars that break down and merely sulking. A greta big thrashing soon sorts them out

Prashan, best of luck for your baby. I know that if it were to happen to me, it would feel like another family member being in the hospital!

Re: My 997 C2S has just broken down....after 6 months and 2k

Prashan I think it is the fuel pump too, a friend of mine had the same problem with his 997 carrera cabrio, and his car was only 1 wk old... replaced under warranty of course! Best of luck and hope u get ur baby back in no time (wkend is coming up!)

Re: My 997 C2S has just broken down....after 6 months and 2k

Thanks guys..... the frustration is so painful.. I have succumbed to asking Porsche Assistance to give me a loan car - will be a Jag, Merc or BMW... Had always pinned my hopes on the car being back soon - my dealer can't even confirm if the fuel pump will be delivered tomorrow...
N11KOY - thanks for the re-assurance.

Sorry to hear that.

Sounds like a supplier problem...IF it happened to other 997 owners too. I had the fuel pump exchanged on my former ML55 AMG twice but happily, it didn't fail immediately, it just made a weird sound, announcing it's soon-to-happen death.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Car Fixed: My 997 C2S has just broken down

Dear All,

Glad to report - my car has been returned with a new fuel pump. I have to say the dealer principal from Porsche Cambridge (original supplying dealer) intervened and highlighted my issue with the Porsche UK regional manager - as a gesture of goodwill they asked Porsche Hatfield to fully valet the car - when I collected it earlier - it looked as good as new.

Looking forward to putting some serious miles on the car now. Thanks for all your support.

Thanks to both dealers for sorting this out
