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.

I had a magnetic drain plug installed prior to delivery as they changed the oil before I picked it up.

I'll discuss with the tech, but do you guys think that would reduce chances of needing to replace water pump and thermostat?

Are there revisions of the part that should be upgraded to, or are they just wear items that are replaced with the exact same part?

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

In a month, I'm taking my new-to-me 02 C4S out of storage, to get the IMS Solution installed. What else should I have looked at or preventatively replaced? Im sorry, I don't have the time, between work and two little kids, to read through all the threads. RMS? AOS? Coolant Tank? Thanks! -Geoff

POST 2Original post

RMS, AOS and clutch if worn. Unless they drop the engine, the coolant tank is on the other end so you won't save labor.

POST 3Original post

Quotes source post: 14009996

I did IMS Single Row Pro, RMS, AOS (all as preventive measures), and clutch at the same time. As has been mentioned the coolant tank is top-side so you won't save on the labor at all. Good luck!

POST 4Original post

Don't forget the flywheel as well if it needs replacing. Make sure the clutch replacement includes the throw out bearing.

POST 5Original post

Air oil separator, water pump, thermo stat and cap upgrade, clutch if needed. I did LN single row pro which is actually a dual row unit. 6/75 life. latest from LN engineering.

POST 6Original post

oh, and maybe spin oil filter adaptor and magnetic drain plug

POST 7Original post

I had 2 chain tensioners replaced along with IMS / RMS / clutch / flywheel.

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 14010536

Spin on oil filter is part of the IMS Solution. I did AOS, clutch and RMS when I did the Solution. Some folks, including Raby, suggest water pump too.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks everyone. Sounds like I should talk to the shop about RMS, AOS, clutch/flywheel inspection. All the standard stuff I had considered already. Things I didn't think of were water pump and thermostat. I had a magnetic drain plug installed prior to delivery as they changed the oil before I picked it up. The car only has 27k miles on it. I'll discuss with the tech, but do you guys think that would reduce chances of needing to replace water pump and thermostat? Are there revisions of the part that should be upgraded to, or are they just wear items that are replaced with the exact same part?
