Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Porsche 968, especially with an in-line 4-cylinder engine, is prone to oil leaks often from the valve cover gasket, camshaft seals, and oil pan gasket.

Timing belt issues

The timing belt on the Porsche 968 requires regular maintenance; if it fails, it can cause significant engine damage due to the interference engine design.

Camshaft variocam problems

The Variocam system can experience wear and tear, leading to poor performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Cooling system failures

The water pump and radiator can develop issues, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.

Head gasket failure

Over time, the head gasket can fail, leading to coolant leaks, overheating, and potential engine damage.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing rough idling, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A faulty crankshaft position sensor can cause starting issues and erratic engine performance.

Ignition coil issues

Faulty ignition coils can lead to misfires, rough running, and reduced power output.
