Dealer called me at lunch and said they took the old IMS out without a problem and it looked good, but IT WAS LEAKING! I believe that is the first stage of a problem, so now I feel much better about spending the money on the IMSR!
The car will also be getting a new RMS, cluth, water pump and AOS.
Oh and a new shock for the rear deck lid, I hear it hit the tech on the head.
Last expensive part a new coolent cap.
Can't wait to get the bill!
Dealer installing a non-Porsche part... interesting
dont think of it as spending money as much as taking propper care of a Porsche, it just cost money sometimes - good job!
Ya, very interesting how they installed it for you! I asked that question for kicks at my dealer and I never even got a response.
The bill will be steep for sure... but rest assured after.
The estimate is under $4K. I'll give your the final total when I get the bill. I believe I was told this is their 3 IMSR this year. And yes it is a pcar dealer.
I'm not surprised. I am finding that dealer pricing is really become more resonable for both parts and service.
Yes, if you live in Yuppieville (or California) many dealers will try to gouge out your eyes, but many dealers are seeing the value in offering free inspections before a locally sponsored PCA DE event and while their parts prices aren't as good as sonnet/sunset/suncoast, they are way below MSRP.
At least that has been my experience.
Our dealer in Omaha is doing the IMS retrofit, in fact they are even keeping some of the kits in stock, and they advertised a special on it for a short time.
Jake (flat 6) or Charles (LN) if you read this post a BIG THANK YOU! for a solution to replacing an engine!
Even the a dealer says you have a better solution than Porsche has come up with.
And...

Paul Miller (best of the bunch but still NJ dealer prices)
Prestige up in Nanuat used to give me great prices on parts until Jack D bought them and that was that.
