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

Just had the brake discs skimmed at O.C.D. Porsche in Birkenhead (Chris ) Excellent Porsche outlet. Whilst on the ramp Chris commented that the original thermostat was still in place and as a bit of a help to let the engine warm up quicker there was now a replacement unit (I think about £75 + fitting ) which will obviously let the engine warm up quicker ( mine now does ). This mod will go just a little way to easing the IMS problem and scored bores.

POST 2Original post

The replacement thermostat is not for warming the engine up quicker. In fact it is just the opposite as it opens sooner, at lower temperature, to increase water flow around the engine during those vulnerable early seconds during increase engine loads. This can aid in the protection from bore scoring issues.
