ims guardian question

[rosenfe]

in speaking with a local porsche mechanic ,he said they were able to flush a engine after finding debris in filter.car is still running today.this is why i posed the question to get others view on having guardian go off.i respect jake raby and believe he wouldnt have created this product if it wasnt useful,ts a lot cheaper than just changing out ims rather than waiting till clutch goes and do it then.

I have had the ims guardian installed for about 2.5 years now. It has never sounded/lit yet. It gives me a peace of mind. Installing ims replacement would have been a lot more. I check oil filter regularly, drive the car in winter and no problems.

I will likely replace the water pump before replacing ims. My 2001 base Box has 43k miles. Hope this helps.

How many miles are on your IMS? Do you know the full service history of the car?
I'm no expert but I see the Guardian as hold me over device until you do address the car because either the mileage is low, it's the less problematic dual row IMS bearing or the owner needs more time to gather funds.
A serviceable bearing needs to be replaced at a regular interval.
