It is running fine and I am wondering if the codes should be read. Of course I am concerned about the cam deviations being in tolerance and I believe that this has a bearing on the condition of the IMS? I think that I read this in another thread. Is that correct?

Second question. What does a typical indy shop charge to read the codes?
Does the code reader that I might buy pay for itself in the short term?
Thanks, Guy.
If you are interested in reading the cam deviation values, which can show problems in the cam drive, including the IMS, you need a Porsche specific tool, which for most means the Durametric system.
