I have an 2004 2.7... what mileage did hers happen around? Just got my car back from a RMS leak, and while it was in there I had a clutch disc put in...tech said it only had about 1-2k left on it Mine was done @ 30k...I don't know how the previous owner drove

11K miles I believe

Sorry for my ignorance here, but what is IMS?

Had mine in for the 15k service week before last and asked them to check the RMS (which I knew was in fact leaking). They replaced the RMS under warranty and also fixed an IMS leak. So it hadn't failed, but I guess might have been on the way there.

Thanks - am thankful I haven't had to learn yet what that meant.

-Corrective action taken

-If out of warranty, successful PCNA support (Y/N, magnitude)
-Year
-Mileage
-2.5, 2.7, 3.2, 3.4, etc
-A sad venting story
