These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

I am looking at a 2001 Targa with following record on CarFax from December 2004 at Porsche Dealer: Camshaft seal(s) replaced Clutch replaced Transmission removed and reinstalled Brake fluid flushed/changed Engine cleaned Front crankshaft oil seal replaced Flywheel/flexplate replaced Car had about 20K miles on it at the time. Does this time frame and service record indicate IMS was replaced? During what time did Porsche do it for free as part of the recall? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

996 Targa was 2002-2005. I 'think' Porsche replaced motors, not bearings.

POST 4Original post

As a simple answer - no. No mention of IMSB (the B is for bearing) replacement. As part of the class action lawsuit settlement, Porsche replaced entire engines. They did not have a program for IMSB replacement only. Read more https://www.996revolution.com/imsb.html To check the VIN go here and click on Settlement Agreement http://www.eisenimssettlement.com/

POST 7Original post

That alone shouldn't scare you off though. It is pretty straightforward to update the IMS bearing. I've had good luck with the LN Engineering products.

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