I bought the 02 S with 45,000 miles...perfectly maintained...all records at local Porsche dealer. Last week I hear some slight "ticks" coming from the engine compartment. A few miles later a bit louder...call dealership to schedule coming in the next day...on the way home a little louder and power drops. Stop car and call the tow wagon....every bit of oil put in by dealership the previous week during 10K oil change runs down the tow bed as it heads to the dealership. IMS failure..thank God for the warranty..will let everyone know how this story ends :
:ah:
