Known Issues
Engine Sealing:
Common for air-cooled Porsches to develop minor oil leaks from crank seals, pushrod tubes, and barrel seals. Requires regular inspection and potential resealing.
Turbocharger:
Bearing wear and seal failure can occur with age and mileage. Proper warm-up and cool-down procedures are crucial for longevity. Wastegate and boost control can require adjustment.
K-Jetronic Fuel System:
Can be sensitive to air leaks and requires precise adjustment for optimal performance and emissions. Components like the airflow meter, injectors, and warm-up regulator can require servicing.
Suspension Bushings:
Rubber bushings in suspension and steering can degrade over time, affecting handling and ride quality. Replacement is a common maintenance item.
Intercooler Leaks:
On 3.3L models, intercooler hoses and connections can develop leaks, reducing boost pressure and performance.
