    Re: does new RMS resolve leak problem??

    Last month a forum mate from www.pasionporsche.com (spanish porsche forum) has been to Zuffenhausen. He went there to buy a 996 Carrera Tip , and besides he visited the Porsche Museum. During the visit, he was told that almost a 40% of the 996 Carrera engines suffers RMS leaks. It's an important percentage.

    I just had the new RMS seal installed about 500km ago. No problems yet but i'll keep an eye on it and report back to this group around reliability.

    Keep your finger's crossed.

    I think it's much higher than that, maybe 40% are identified by the customer or dealer on a cursory exam. 90% would be my bet, and m97's too.
