Ims
I have an 04 BoxterS. 57k miles. I recently heard a tinny screeching every 2-3 seconds at idle coming from the rear IMS area of the engine. I change oil and filter every 2500 - 3000 miles. I drive it hard on occasion but also do some in town driving. No lugging , no abuse. I'll pull the filter to inspect it, but I will not start the engine. Needless to say , I'll be pissed if it's the IMS bearing. Porsche engineers knew well ahead of 2004 that there was an inherent design flaw and should have redesigned sooner than 09. My Porsche dealer denied seeing any problems with IMS bearings in Boxters when I was there six months ago. I'll re post when I have the noise professionally diagnosed. Any suggestions on a good independent garage in the Portland or Salem Oregon area that will install a non Porsche replacement bearing ?
