What to look for
Known issues
- Bonded coolant pipe stubs. On the 997.1 Turbo the coolant stubs are only glued in and can pull out suddenly; pinning or welding (engine out) is the preventive fix. Sources: Regal Autosport
Inspection checklist
- Proof of coolant-stub pinning/welding
- Look for coolant on engine top
- Smooth boost; scan for VTG codes
- Manual: pedal feel before start
- Inspect radiators and condensers; A/C cold
- Damper leaks and top mount rust
- PCCB disc edges if fitted
- Determine 997.1 vs 997.2
Compiled from buyer’s guides and specialist sources; confirm with a pre-purchase inspection.
