No word yet. Still waiting on Porsche to say yes or no. It has been 2 weeks already.

Hang in there. Even with my CPO car it took about 3 weeks to get the OK and that was after I sent a few pushy emails.

I'm been crossing my fingers for you Porsche05, I'm sincerely hoping the dealer and PCNA steps up and helps you out!

Hang in there, keep us posted!

Sorry to have to ask this, but IMS refers to what on the '05 C2S?

Intermediate Shaft Bearing. See here for a good overview.

So I just got word, Porsche is going to replace the engine, but I have to pay for the labor. I guess $3k is better than $20k.

Congrats! $3K is better than $20K for sure. Would be nice to squeeze labor costs from them as well, but, new engine is also not bad. Your car will gain value now so this $3K will be absorbed nicely. Will that be remanned engine or brand new one? Did they elaborate on that?

It is a brand new engine. Now, I need to take a poll: With the engine out should I upgrade to a sport clutch and LWFW? Does anyone here have that done and do you like it?

Considering your 2005 was out of warranty and not a CPO, I think Porsche took good care of you on this one. Making you come out of pocket for the labor is a little puzzling, but 3K is absolutely better than 20K!

Congrats!

I do not see any puzzle here as there is no warranty for dealership to write off labor costs. Someone has to pay for mechanics` time one way or another.

That's awesome. I'm regretting not reading up about LNEngineering's IMS part when I was having a transmission leak repaired. I got an updated RMS out of that repair at the time and it sounds like they could have checked on it at that time.

I don't think so...The engine will come from PCNA...not sure it will be new...could be remanufactured but I don't think that matters a bit...

but PCNA doesn't want to shellout the money for the dealers labor.

Very fair deal IMO.

The only problem I have is that $3,000 for labor is way out of line. A good mechanic should be able to drop the engine, switch the trans and clutch, and reinstall it in no more than 10-12 hours. I have done it in my garage in that much time, with no lift, etc.

Right that is crazy. They say it is a 20 hours job. Well, what can I do now. Just want my car fixed. Also, should I buy some kind of extended warranty or service contact? If so can anyone advice anyone? Thank you,
