Maybe I should check their website...

But I have looked at the net before, and it looks to be a fine oil

A factory replacement engine will have all of the updates as of its date of manufacture, but while Porsche did find a fix for the RMS leaks (new design seal), the IMS issue persisted until they came out with the 9A1 engine which does not use the intermediate shaft. Because your engine was replaced in 2011, it will be carrying the last design IMS bearing, which is still the subject of reported failures, and cannot be easily replaced with the stronger aftermarket bearings because it is too large in diameter to fit through the opening in the rear of the engine cases.

I have a MY2004 996 cab.

Was just wondering if any has had a new replacement engine from Porsche, and destroyed that also...??

Or has they fix the common problems with IMS and RMS?

I got a replacement engine in april 2011, and so far so good;-)

Just wondering...

Sorry my english, I'm from denmark;-)

Ahhh...okay;-)

Yes, but does not help...everything works perfect except "one touch" on passengerside.

Nobody have an idea?

Nice model and color;-)

Hope you mean mobil 1. 5w50...??

Come on guys, let's see your beautiful summer car...;-)

Help/advice required please with regards to a problem on a 2004 MY 996 4S...

The passenger side window will not go up on its own with 'one touch' of the switch/button. It will go down fine with 'one touch', but to make it go back up you have to keep your finger on the button until it reaches the top.

I have sent it all the way down, and then held the button down for over 10seconds, and I have also done the same for the upwards direction - but still no good! I have also had the battery disconected/reconnected to see if that made any difference...

For info, the drivers side works as it should. Also, with the doors closed and with the key held in the door lock in the open/towards the front of the car position, both windows go down fine, and then go all the way up again when the key is moved and held in the closed/towards the rear of the car position.

Any help would be useful... Thanks in advance! : )

I have the exact same problem....

This is my 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe. 46000 miles. Runs like a Scalded Cat on fire. I had the L&N IMS Bearing upgrade, New Clutch, Pressure Plate, Throwout Bearing, Transmission Fluid changed as well. I Upgraded the Stereo speakers as well. This car is a pure pleasure to drive!!

The picture of the 911 at Daytona International Speedway is where i work PT on the Fire/EMS Team.

Nice...;-))

Upload your best picture of your 996...

Have a nice summer :thumbup:

Why not just bend the pin on the relay so it doesnt go into the contact board?

I bend pin 1....works perfect.

If you are planning on keeping the car for many years, I would "grab the bull by the horns" and buy a new engine from Porsche...

It has to many miles on it, to keep on replacing engine parts....sorry
