I have a car on my premises now that came in with an IMS failure.. It has a reman engine installed from early 2007 with the 06 and newer IMS update from Porsche.

Its here due to a failed IMS bearing.

I've seen failures from every year and model up to 07 so far, the IMS syndrome is not prejudice what so ever to any particular years or models.

The early cars seem not to have as many IMS failures, they have other similarly devestating MOF..
