Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

How did the guy "know what it was" without getting down to the actual bearing to inspect for failure?

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is there a thread on IMS failure tracking? If so could someone share the link. If not Maybe this could start. 2003 C4S 70,000mi. one owner at 45mph, didn't try a restart, knew what it was. Never tracked. was stored for 3 months about 7 months before failure.

POST 2Original post

This is BS. How did the guy "know what it was" without getting down to the actual bearing to inspect for failure? We recently had a VERY experienced Porsche owner here who thought his was on it's way out, and did the same thing. Flat bedded it to his indy and it was a faulty water pump and some roller bearings...making a terrible sound. If he did what your PO did, he would have shut it down, and sold it to you as a roller.

Yep, I also remember one where the alternator bearings had failed!

This thread idea has been tried before, and before that,and.....

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
