1% would be an acceptable risk, if that's what it is.
I'm going to try to post a poll on the topic. Let me know if a poll has been done before and i'll search for it. Ok, I see a survey has been done but I think a poll would be easier to read and would give you the percentages.
I'll ask:
1. have you had IMS failure that lead to engine failure (yes or no)?
2. have you had IMS failure and repair (ie, bad seals) that did not need new engine? (this would be for those who checked the IMS with a clutch repair etc)
3. miles/km on your 986 if no IMS failure or at time of failure
4. manual or tip
5. engine size
6. model year
Do you think this would be a good poll to do, and if so, what other questions would you ask? Even though it's a small cross section of 986 owners, it should give us a better idea of the extent of the problem.
