IMS Failure and Class Action lawsuit

I did put in a used engine and an after market bearing...all is back on the track and running well. Maybe, one day, Porsche will step up, but I will be in a C4 by then. :ah:

How many miles until you had a failure; my friends failed at 23K on her 2005 base model? After the IMS upgrade my bearing was ok.....but after pulling the seals didn't see a lot of grease in there...more a mixture of residual grease and oil. Think it was just a matter of time. If I ever own another one of these engine types I figure its the cost of ownership, and should be considered as part of the purchase... Porsche however has lost some luster with me...
