This is good news for 06-08 owners. Not to shabby for 05 owners either. Phil |
OK, so four confirmed failures on 997s so far. I'd love to know the years and details on these if anyone voted yes.
-2005 997 Carrera S -997 year? -997 year? -997 cab year? |
Anyone else has experienced a first-hand IMS failure in a 997? please participate and let us know your year and engine.
Thanks |
05 C2, 70K miles, no issues, still under CPO though
|
2006 C2S, 22k, NO issues
|
06 ( early) C2S 25 K Ok
|
2007 C4 cab, 10,000 miles. No IMS problems, but RMS leak fixed under CPO at 4,000 miles.
|
I voted but it was for my previous car 2006 C2S
|
We currently own an '06 C2S and an '08 C4S. No IMS or RMS issue with either.
|
It's looking like IMS is a non-issue at this point. :corn:
|
2007 997 8000 miles
No failure. |
Wish I could say that it was a non-issue...
38,000 miles and mine failed. I'm currently bickering with PCNA about covering the cost of the reman engine. They say "two years out of warranty--not our problem". I say, it's only 2k beyond the typical mileage warranty limit, and it's a known problem that an owner cannot prevent through good maintenance--PCNA should stand behind their product. No early indications. I was using Mobile 1 and changing it at about 4k intervals. No extreme metal deposits in the filters and no visible plastic from the bearing seals. I haven't tracked the car. A Duratec scan showed it had never been in rev ranges 5 or 6 and not much time in "4". I typically "cruised" in the2-3k RPM range, so I wasn't exactly "idling" around in it. As it began to fail, it sounded like a random "click". I rushed home (it wasn't far, luckily) and as it grew worse I found that if I kept the revsup, the clatter would stop altogether. I shut it off in my garage and it suddenly dumped 6 quarts of Mobile 1 on my floor (hadn't dripped up my driveway at all). After I took oft the dealer, they started it. It started and ran fine, and then they told me that it became "obvious". I love the car. It's my third Porsche. But I'm disgusted with PCNA. |
Slideshow- thanks for chiming in. what year was the car? Also.. are you absolutely certain that you need a new engine? Or can they just replace the IMS? do you have any pics?
