Rc 82nd,
I would take that seriously. My 9/2004 build, 05' Carrera had the same thing. Grab a magnet and if the sparkles are magnetic it may point to the failing bearing. I would also drop the rear belly pan and look for weeping oil near the RMS, that was the decider for me, once I saw a weeping RMS I went for the LN upgrade.
$3300.
Sorry.

Called porsche north america. They say it was a late feb.build date. The vin # falls within the settlement numbers per the lawyer web site. Porsche says it has the revised bearing(in the case, which means an engine split). I dont think they know for sure what is in there ,given the feb.build date. So drop the tranny and see if those germans can keep records like the Asians can.

Talk about due diligence paying off! Even if the $3,300 is all yours, you should be very pleased this is how you found out about it!

Just noticed the sticky. I've been lurking for over a year now!
2005 C2S purchased back in October 2012 with 8800 miles. I had the IMS let go and destroy the engine at about 10,000 miles. Car VIN was a VIN covered in the lawsuit settlement. Lucky for me I purchased an aftermarket warranty with CNA Nation through my local Porsche dealer. The engine was replaced with a new 2008 motor at 0 cost to me.

Just found this article, and had never seen it before, so thought some might be interested:
http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...paign=20140416
I have a 2005 C2S since last year and try to be very aware of the symptoms. One noted in this article is the rattle at startup which my car has always had and I contributed to exhaust and cat warming. Can anyone comment as to a difference in rattles I should be listening for?
