Another IMS Bearing replacement...
I bought a 47,000 mile 2000 Boxster S at the end of May; many thanks to Jake at Flat 6 for his responses to my emails on my concerns with this IMS issue.
When I bought the car, I had planned on having the IMSR procedure done ASAP.
My indie finally got into the car this past Thursday, and upon teardown, found a bearing with lots of looseness; oozing oil and metal flakes. Ouch.
The first thing he told me was he wouldn't have started the car if he knew the bearing was that bad, he would have pushed it into the shop. He ordered a replacement bearing from LN, and I will hopefully have my ride back before the end of the week.
By the looks of it, I'm a lucky Boxster owner. A bad IMS bearing, but caught before the dreaded BOOM.
Thanks folks,
Ciao
