  1. Basic Info

    2002 Porsche 911 Carrera

    Coupe C2

    Manual 6 speed

    US

     

    So my friend and I started to the process of changing the IMS to the Solution and noticed while we were removing the second from the top left bolt of the transmission (facing the rear of the car) that there was a lot of corrosion. The bolt was very difficult to get out and actually took some of the threads with it. Once we removed the tranny we saw inside the housing of the tranny and the crank crystallized particles. It was also around the bolt that was tough to get out. After a closer look it appeared that the oil cooler had leaked antifreeze at some point which over time, seeped around the tranny/crank housing (did not enter the tranny though). It (the flakes) also was near where the cooler mount to the crank. This led us to belive that possibly the oil cooler is bad or going bad or possibly the oil cooler o-rings. Any ideas or comments? This is where I plan on getting the replacement parts. I can post some pics even if it would help.

  2. Don't mean to resurrect a somewhat old thread but I too have been researching and in the market for a 911. At this point any 911 ranging from 1999 to probably around 2005. I've read that the newer models are very hard to service the IMS and basically a complete motor rebuild. I guess my question is this...

    If I buy a car that I'm uncertain to the IMS RMS upgrade or change, is there a way to tell if the car is in trouble from a buyer's perspective? Also when the dealership says they'll fix those issues what are they replacing the old parts with? Are they better or equivalent to the third party fixes or retrofits? Also can someone point me towards the best parts to accomplish the complete fix and retrofit? I live in the Pittsburgh area and of anyone else is around here and can point out a great service shop that would be helpful.... Thanks
