Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

On 2006 models, the IMS bearing is captured int he crankcase. Some mechanics note that this bearing is problematic also, however complet engine disassembly is required for replacement. Maybe best left to the Porsche pros. - Nick
