You get a replacement engine, no major repairs are done to engines, the "blown" one goes to Germany for anaylsis. Porsche will tell no one about what went wrong with it. You got 40K miles "free" AND I hear new engine comes with a full _new_ four year warrenty (car warrenty will run out as scheduled). There have been some questions as to wether your "new" engine is actually new; it may be reconditioned (NOT used). Will be as good as new but some parts will be from earlier "blown" engines. Then you have the problem of your numbers not matching up?

So ask dealer/svc:

new or reconditioned new engine?
numbers match?
four-year warrenty?

After 40K miles I'd be happy; with fewer, (like 2-4000) I'd be a bit peeved.



It's amazing how low our standards have become with regards to how many miles we get out of an engine. You're not saying a life expectancy for an engine of 40K miles is good, are you?
