I also let mine sit for about 3 months. It stopped for a while after I drove it a little once a week.

Now it smokes after I stopped to buy a couple things at the store (randomly). Parked the car for about 2-3 hours and turned it off. Came out started her up and it started to smoke quite badly for a few miles then it went away. It was chemical warfare and felt a bit embarassing

Sorry, it's toast. I'll save you the trauma of taking it to the junk yard yourself, what time can I pick it up? I swear you'll never have to be reminded of or see that awful cloud of smoke again.

Sounds like typical symptoms of a blown/leaky head gasket.

What was the problem Mike? My freind has his 993tt at the dealer now and they want to put on NEW turbo's due to the seal's going bad for $10,000!!!! Or rebuild the old ones for about half that plus instal.. This car only has 18,000 miles on it..

Hi fat cab,

It stopped doing it for this month, so I've let it slide for the time being. Worst case scenario, I was quoted to have the engine rebuilt. Might as well drive it until it goes poof should that happen in any event

My car also has similar mileage to your friends.
