I've got to ask about IMS, RMS and whether it's been borescoped?

[James2359]

Hi just enquiring about the ims bearing and rms bearing and any bore scoring checks or videos available
Thank James

[IC01]

Hi...I have had no issues or symptoms of potential failure modes of the bearings or bore score since I purchased the vehicle at C. 25K miles.
I had at that time an extensive and detailed inspection of the car by the then head of the Porsche Club of GB.
There was no potential issues noted at that time, or indeed during its Service history.

Can you please tell me more about the intermittent tyre pressure fault, what specifically happens?

[IC01]

Hi...the rear pressures often show zero. After adding air and resetting they are OK for sometimes several weeks and then the light comes on and off.
I have checked for slow puncture but was going to fit new sensors as I read they only last for 10 years.
Hope that helps.

RE: IMS bearing. The IMS upgrade was introduced on later 2005 cars I.e 2006 model year. My car is late Autumn.registered and is a 2006 model year.

Can you advise what the clutch is like? I notice a comment in a service document "clutch bite point is high and clutch judders" Thanks

[IC01]

I had the Clutch replaced after that comment. The invoice is in the photos. The clutch is fine, a specialist Co. In Chelmsford.

Thanks for the update on the clutch. Is the private plate being re assigned just now? Having trouble getting the vehicle check to correspond to this car.

[IC01]

Yes, I reassigned the plate to my other car this week.
The Porsche reg is:
WJ55 HMM

Hi,
What happened with the services between December 2012 and September 2017 please?
Many thanks.

[IC01]

There was a service in 2015, I have asked Porsche Colchester to confirm but as yet I have not recieved a reply. I did not cover too many miles.in that period as I used a second car. I believe it was 27K.

I did have oil changed as well by a local garage I believe in 2016.

Thanks for coming back to so promptly.
As long as it’s been serviced during that 5 year period, very crucial as I’m sure you can appreciate having owned the car for so long , which looks very tidy and a credit to you.
KR, Ian.
