Hi all
Bought my 2003 3.2S in Canberra, Australia last August. Since reading about the IMS vulnerability and asking around, I felt like I was playing Russian Roulette every time I went for a drive (car has done ~87,000 km).
Had the IMS fixed and service with fresh consumables a couple of weeks ago by a local Porsche specialist. The price, including another oil and filter change in a thousand km, was $AU 2,600. I suspect I was done some favours. Now I feel completely confident - well worth the investment!
