Daily chatter thread
🗣️ Chit-Chat 💬
What is this thread all about??
Just general discussion. Stuff on your mind. Talk about hobbies, health, God/scripture, news, help, current topics, theories and predictions, whatever the case may be.
This is the second of what May be many, let’s see how it goes
I wasn't aware the 4S is the other motor - if so great...it almost rings a bell that it does now that you mention it though...but I wouldn't want the AWD version personally, unless you intend for snow tires and some fun with that....
As for the bearing, it's not just put a fresh one in, but the full sort of "fix all this" kits that are out there (though I'm not sure if the "d-chunk" failure has any cure other than prayer/wood knocking/etc?).
Main reason I'd shy away from 996 is by now interiors are disintegrating (edit: ok I'm exaggerating - somewhat!), they really went cheap there so you need one that was parked inside and really cared for/treated with protectant etc....
Aside: I was like "well I don't want to get involved in random chit chat" but then of course someone had to bring up these damn cars LOL
Fwiw, I'm thoroughly enjoying reading. 🍿
Well we are in the chit chat section lol!
As for the replacement kit, yea, that’s what I meant. Didn’t know if it was just the bearing or more. Either way, if I can find one for a good price, I’ll fix it and I’m all in lol
It's been awhile since I looked into it, but yeah IIRC it's like improved bearing and seal and stuff, I think to prevent things moving and flexing wrong/leaking or whatever that causes the issue to begin with. Very hand-wavy but ballpark like $2k maybe parts/install - probably more now of course.
