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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

An older friend in Santa Rosa, CA, wishing to get back into the fold asked me about a 2000 cab being offered at NBS Auto Showroom https://nbsautoshowroom.v12soft.com/...view/11611245/ . VIN WP0CA2992YS652187 ; Do any of you have any knowledge of NBS Auto Showroom? Also, any recommendations as to who could perform a PPI in the Milpitas, CA area should he wish to get the 996. Since the description doesn't mention anything about IMS replacement, I've told my friend to set aside some $$ in case the maintenance records are either missing or indicate no IMS replacement (been there and bought the 20k$ tee-shirt ). Thanks, Cringely

POST 2Original post

This year model was known for intermix problems. Called it 996 "Y2K" or something like that. It could have the dual row IMS unless the engine was replaced under warranty with a single row bearing. Be careful. Bore scope the cylinders and check for intermix, misfires, etc.

Depends on the build date. Early 2000's don't have the Y2K syndrome and have double row IMS bearings. MK-I (3.4L) are less susceptible to bore scoring, according to FSI's videos - something to do with the angle of the dangle or the cube of the pube. A thorough PPI is a good idea.

POST 4Original post

what are they asking for that 2000 cab?

POST 5Original post

I'd buy it just based on the 235 MPG it gets.
