Testimonial Flat 6 Innovations saves another M96 Engine from catastrophic failure with the IMS Bearing Retrofit kit!!!! My 2003 2.7 Boxster had covered 49,000 miles and was in at an official Porsche dealership for a routine service. During the service they noticed a small leak from the engine - the infamous rear main seal. I booked it in for repair and once the gearbox was off, it was also apparent that the intermediate shaft bearing retaining bolt had sheared off. The car was running absolutely fine when it went on the ramp but we didn't dare fire it up it again knowing this! To fix this I was told by my dealer the engine would have to be stripped down and a completely new intermediate shaft fitted (Porsche don't sell the bearing on it's own). COST for parts and labour - 6000GBP!
Needless to say I was not impressed and after asking around on the internet I came across flat6innovations. Their IMS retrofit kit addressed this issue - not only do they have the kit and the know-how, but Jake identified the type of IMS bearing from pictures I sent him, advised exactly what tools were required, how to do it and shipped me the kit to the UK within days. GREAT customer service!
Porsche fitted the new IMS for me (the techs were gathered round while it as being done!) and I have the car back. It runs as well as it always did, but with peace of mind that the IMS bearing is a quality item and the retaining bolt is at least twice as thick. It's as Porsche should have designed it!
COST for this repair - 650GBP including parts, tools, labour, overseas shipping and taxes!!! I am a very happy customer!
