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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

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.

* The indy mechanic who was to install LN's IMS Solution reported after dropping the gearbox that the large non-removable IMS was present, and thought it likely that the entire motor had been replaced fairly early on.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a new (to me) 2002 996 C4 cab, whose motor was likely* replaced by Porsche as it has the large non-removable IMS bearing (so, in other words, it doesn't have the LN Solution or retrofit). The previous owner also fitted a spin-on oil filter adapter, that currently holds a Bosch 3332 filter — but I don't know if that adapter is the LN one or another. Does anyone know if the LN adaptor was the only one ever produced? Any way to tell without physically removing the adaptor? * The indy mechanic who was to install LN's IMS Solution reported after dropping the gearbox that the large non-removable IMS was present, and thought it likely that the entire motor had been replaced fairly early on. The vehicle had 55K miles, and seems in excellent shape.

LN made the first spin on adaptor, and some would argue the best one. Go to LN's website and see if yours looks like theirs.
