Many people would prefer we use the search button.
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.

So the first generation water cooled 911 Porsche. I remember all the spite and anger of Porsche enthusiasts before these hit the marketplace. I think they are splendid cars. Seems they have a weak point or two but don�t most cars?
I understand that a $75,000 car or more at the time should have no problems whatsoever but it�s as if this company totally restarted itself with this car. From what I can see from reading is that the better years are from 2000-2004. The first couple of years have the most issues. Is this correct?
I am looking forward to learning more about these cars and the people who drive them.
I won�t ask to many questions. From what I can see so far from reading the first several pages it�s not a good idea to ask questions on this particular section of the website. Many people would prefer we use the search button. I think I understand why but at the same time wouldn�t this be a dull forum.
So anyway hello from a perspective lurker.
😈
Sorry I don’t understand what you mean “search is your friend” I am not searching for anything in particular. Just trying to learn about the first generation water cooled 911’s.
Im sorry if I inadvertently made some type of mistake.
It�s all good. I was referring to a couple recent hotly commented on threads on here.
99s are considered good because they came with a double row IMS bearing. The 01s came with a single row. The failure rate on the 99s appears to be significantly lower. But if you do a search here in RL, you�ll find lots of great info on this topic.
"it’s not a good idea to ask questions"
Not true, but it's not okay to ask a question that has been discussed thousands of times. Do some research before asking questions.

This gets better by the minute.
99s have a dual row IMS bearing which is less prone to failure than 00+ which had a single row bearing and was part of the class action lawsuit.
Everyone has deviating opinions on single vs dual row etc.
From what I gather, if you get a 99 with out an IMS replacement, you
should
be okay waiting to replace it at the next clutch service.
YMMV
