Anyone planning to track the car regularly should install a deep sump kit and ensure your oil is topped up. With proper maintanence and education you should have a long and happy life with your 997.1. However failures can occur just like any other car. We believe these have largely been overblown by the semi-educated. The upside of this is the 997.1 represents a tremendous value for the educated buyers. And to put your worst case scenario in context, you can buy a 997.1 and rebuild the engine into a 4.0 monster for roughly the same price you can buy a 997.2. To each his own. None of these are deal breakers. RMS (Rear Main Seal) - This is often confused with the IMS. Its not serious issue. It just causes the car to weep oil out of the transmission bell. 50 seal but you need to remove the transmission and flywheel to get to it. Most people fix it during a clutch job, so if your clutch has been replaced this would likely have already been addressed.
Its typically found on earlier 997.1s and garage queens. Starter/Alternator Cable - 997.1s have an issue where the starter cable can build up resistance due to a bad crimp. To test for it get the car over 200F oil temp then turn it off and immediately restart it. If its sluggish the cable is bad. They can also sometimes see the cable boot melted near the starter. Suspension - Most last 80-100k miles, but some go at 50k miles if the car is a garage queen and the seals dry up. Inspect the struts closely. Look for fluid leaking out. It will cause dust to accumulate on the strut itself. Inner Tie Rod - If your steering wheel shakes over 70mph, don't assume it is alignment, balancing, or tires. In some cases it鈥檚 the inner tie rod. 40. People think you can feel a bad tie rod by jacking up and wiggling wheel side to side, I have found that not to be true. I bet a large % of folks have a shot tie rod and don't even know it.
Rear Lower Control arms - Hard to tell without looking really close, many low mileage garage queens will have the bushing crack because everything dries out. Expansion Tank Cracks - the expansion tank cracks on most 997s as they get older. You need to inspect closely for hairline cracks. Another cheap part but pain to install as you need to drop the engine down a bit to get it out. Water Pump - these should be treated as consumable items on all 997s. They need to be replaced every 4-5 years. Try to find the history on yours or budget a replacement. Strut Mounts - these can go at 60-80k miles, particularly if the car is lowered with Eibach or H&R springs. Typically the fronts go first. To inspect the fronts go over some low speed bumps and listen for clunks. The rears you need to go around a bumpy corner at 30mph or so to load up the suspension and listen for rattles coming from the rear seat area.
