Que raro....lo mollar:

My 992 GT3 needed a new engine. Early builds could have the same issue
Since this is going to be a long post, TL;DR: The engine of my 992 GT3 was consuming too much oil. Had it inspected and the lining in the cylinder walls were all pitted. Porsche covered all costs for a new engine. More engines could be affected.

Firstly, I am new to this forum; so please, forgive me for any faux pas. For obvious reasons, I will not disclose exact my location nor my exact build date. All you need to know is that I am in the US and my 992 GT3 was built in the second half of 2021. As soon as I took delivery of my car, I noticed the oil consumption was a little high. The first oil light came at about 1100 miles, but I didn’t think much of it since it is normal for a new car to consume more oil. Mind you, I kept it below 7000rpm as per manual for the first 1000 miles.

As time went on, the car kept consuming roughly about a quart every 1000-1100 miles, without any track time. Again, the owner’s manual says that anything above 620 miles per quart should be considered normal, so I carried on.

As I racked miles on the car, slowly but surely the oil consumption increased. 950 miles per quart, 900, 850… So, I started to get concerned. Soon, the consumption breached the 620 miles per quart, and I decided to have my dealership open a case. They did an oil change and had me drive it until the oil light appeared again. They also game me a log to keep track of street/highway miles. The light appeared again at 450 miles this time.

Brought the car back, and they dropped the engine to do a full inspection. Upon removing the cylinder heads, they noticed that the walls of every cylinder were pitted (see picture). This was a clear manufacturing issue, and literally within one hour of my service team sending pictures to Porsche, I had an ETA for my new engine. It arrived the very next week, and all costs were covered under my warranty. I couldn’t be happier with my new engine, and the car now consumes about 8000 miles per quart, including track miles. I did use Andreas Preuninger break-in procedure this time, in case anyone is wondering.

Now, the reason why I am sharing this is because this is not an isolated issue. A couple of months after I got my engine replaced, I found myself chatting with someone that is involved with the VW group. As I started to explain to him what happened to my engine, his response was “I know EXACTLY what you are talking about.” Essentially, what he told me, is that Porsche made a mistake in the manufacturing of some GT3 engines. Basically, the lining in the cylinder walls needs to be “cooked” at a certain temperature, and they messed up. The problem is, no one knows about it other than Porsche. Porsche hasn’t released any bulletin regarding that known issue. Most people don’t drive their GT3s as much as I do, so they never realize that their cars is consuming oil. And even if they do, they think their consumption is within spec. My suggestion is, if anyone notices that their oil consumption is below 1500 miles per quart, have your car checked out. This is a VERY expensive endeavor if you are out of warranty.

 

No, yo no lo estoy y los veo.
