Many Thanks, excellent advice and just what I was looking for !!! If I were to do this and it all looked good (no metalic flakes in filter, no timing difference between the two cams) and I then repeated the operation (plus oil change) every 5,000 miles then how effective of a pre-warning method would it be?? Thanks Chris

Bernard, the car has a full service history with an official Porsche dealer. The mechanic I phoned is from another Porsche official dealer and said they only did a PPI for cars who were going to take on a Porsche Official Warranty... Chris

Hi, I am looking at buying a 2003 996 with 50,000 miles, porsche serviced. All looks fine but (and I don't want to start another IMS thread...!) I wanted to see if there were any specific simple checks (just to see if bearing failure is on the way before purchase). I called the Porsche dealer here in Milan, Italy and asked if they could check the oil filter for bits of ferrous metal...he said it would be a long job emptying the oil and taking the filter off to check ???!! I asked him if it were possible to run a check on the differences in timing between the two camshafts (if there were fluctuations in the deviations this would be a warning sign??) but he said he would need to take the engine half apart and would cost €500..! I'm not very technical but read of someone who did the same with some software (Durametric?) at home in a few minutes so I'm a little suprised at the mechanics reply. Any advice or comments on this? Any other ideas? Thanks!! Chris
