Potential IMS Failures
Andrej60 replied to 0356kid's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
I've been reading religiously about potential engine issues after I bought my 2005 911 Carrera. It's an early model, 997.1 built in May 2004 (bought in NJ) and after 7 years of hard use and daily driving (99k miles on the odometer) I have nothing but good things to say about my car. I make regular weekend excursions on German autobahn (moved from the US 3 yrs ago) and the car is a blast to drive fast. The only unscheduled service item that had to be replaced, and which should be mentioned in the service manual, were the ignition coils. The Porsche mechanics in Germany recommend replacing them as a preventative maintenance at 50k miles. As a matter of fact, they were so apologetic, they provided this service for a very small fee. Other than that and an ABS sensor replaced a year ago, it was a trouble free experience. I follow recommended service intervals, oil and fluids change every 2yrs. The car rattles less in the EU (NJ roads were rough), but overall it is mechanically sound and solid. No worse than my Japanese cars I've driven over previous years. Regards, Andrej
