IMS bearing was found in the sump, or at least some ***** were. That's pretty conclusive.

2004 C4S,
I'm at 107,000. Just replaced the water pump and valve cover sealant.

Otherwise it's still runs like a scolded dog and put a big *** grin on my face everyday.

Here's a '99 in my area for sale right now with 198k miles on it. His price is a bit high, but it's a good looking car.

I really want to email him and ask if it's had the IMS bearing replaced, and if he'll take a check.

A bit high is an understatement.

Someone should inquire how many miles the car has and if they are original

And whether she'll take $19,998...

Are those Porsche optional oem wheels on it?
If the 200k miles on the orig engine, RMS, IMS and clutch are genuine... then I'm impressed.
Sounds as robust as a 944.. 😉
