Rather than "wear out" I think the Boxster owners should be much more concerned about posts that follows. This IMS issue is real and it can strke at any time.

We have had many members post on IMS failures and it has been written about by the tech guys in Excellence mag. It would be nice if Porsche fixed this flax.





On my way to work yesterday and my car died. No warning, no nothing. Today I'm still in shock can't believe that the dealership told I have to get an entirely new engine put in. Told this was due to a broken internal shaft bolt. I don't understand how this could happen, my 01 box doesn't even have 50,000 miles on it and I have taken it in on a regular basis for the routine maintenance.

Has anybody ever heard of this happening or has had this happen to you?
Don't think my insurance will cover this and unfortunately I do not have any warranty on the car. Any comments or suggestions on what to do would be a great help.

Thanks,
