The IMS is fine ; the engine has been changed in 2006 by an official Porsche dealer in France.

I use only my 911 only for fun the week end and during my holidays.

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.

Hello ! I live in the vicinity of Paris (France) and I'm the (very) happy owner of a 996 4S. Completely crazy about 911 since my childhood, I'm already member of several forums in France and I have decided today to cross the Ocean.
Here my Beauty. She was born in 2004. She is equipped with the X51 power kit. Mileage : 41 000 Miles and she looks brand new like.
I use only my 911 only for fun the week end and during my holidays.
Best regards.
Stephane.

Hello. Everything in fine. Nothing special to do to it. The IMS is fine ; the engine has been changed in 2006 by an official Porsche dealer in France. It is equipped with the "official" updated IMS . I want to keep it in a completely "stock" condition.
L'ecart entre tes embouts d'echappement et le parchoc arriere apparait top important ce qui tendrait a prouver que les supports moteurs arriere sont deteriores entainant un abaissement du moteur.
C'est un probleme mineur classique sur les 996. Cela prend une heure pour les changer. Une video sur Youtube te montrera comment faire si tu veux le faire toi meme.

Merci pour ces infos ; je vais faire v�rifier �a par mon centre Porsche.
Thank you for your answer ; my Porsche dealer are going to check this.
Stephane
You're welcome Stephane! BTW, I'm impressed by Cuda911's diagnosis!
Don't worry, Stephane, you mechanic will test the engine-mounts. If needed, replacing them is not a big deal.
I wish you a lot of fun with this beauty,
Joe
Amazing looking car Stephane, you are very lucky to have found this perfect example, great color combo as well... It really looks brand new "inside-out", incredible, even the leather seats have no wear, nice. Welcome to the club and enjoy your new C4S, especially on the Autobahn :-). Cheers...
Bonjour Stephane,
moi je suis dans la r�gion bourguignonne, � Autun. Donc pas de garages Porsche ici. J�ai une 996 4s cabrui, couleur bleu nuit de 2003. Elle roule impeccable. Et eel n�a que 72.000 N�anmoins j�ai d�j� eu des soucis avec. Fuite du condenseur de la clim, cass� bobines etc. Donc si tu roules si peu, tu changera l�huile avec quelle. Et bienvenue sur ce forum.
Pardon my French, but that car is F%#$ING gorgeous! Were the silver radiator grilles & exhaust vents a factory option or were they painted? When I search for photos of C4S's I see it's pretty rare on widebody cars. I love, love, love, love it. Well done, mate!
Hi. Thank all for your friendly comments. Rvanhaasen, regarding your issues with your car, the precedent owner of my 4S had also changed the aircon condensers due to a leak. For my part, I have already changed the clutch. All the rest is perfect. Roll on for the spring (or at least a shiny winter day - nasty weather in Paris this week) and some great drive to Deauville !
Hi. The front grilles are part of the Exclusif Program (code 09991) : the code for this factory option is M095. I have these informations in the car service book. Regarding the exhaust vents I don't have any "official" information about a potential option ; perhaps they have been painted by the previous owner ...
that is an absolutely beautiful car!
don't trust the position of exhaust tips to determine whether or not motor mounts are bad. This is an urban legend
Regarding the exhaust tips: Mine were asymmetrically sagging, as well. Recommended new motor mounts through Rennlist. I did so.
They're still asymmetric. But hey: New motor mounts, so no harm, no foul.
Spectacular C4S. I may try to find how to make my intake and exhaust grilles silver in the same fashion: Mine is midnight blue and would IMO look spectacular with that minor modification.
Well done, Stephane. Enjoy.
