Big Data

Thanks for your collective insight - I have a new to me 2004 Boxster S with 30K miles on the clock. Since I have gotten the car I have done a lot of research on the forum, PCA, Google on the dreaded IMS issue. While 8% is a higher failure rate than the original design, there is a 92% chance that it will not fail. Of course if you are one of the unlucky ones then dropping the cash for a pro-active IMS bearing fix is a no brainer... For now I will change the oil at an earlier interval, examine the filter for debris, keep an eye on this, and plan to do a replacement at some point the future.
