Agree w/Alan.....not very 'likely' that detective work will be done on DME.
That sometimes is the course when low miles and warranty is involved....doubtful here.....but suit youself.

I would talk to your Local Porsche Dealer, in most cases Porsche does a "Good Will" means they will give you a New Reman Engine but you pay for Install. Sorry to hear but this is one of the Known Issues. But again since you did change your IMS to sort of avoid this issue im not sure if Porsche will help you. Maybe dont mention it...

Sad to hear this. Would you mind sharing your 05' S engine number or build date? BTW, a 2005 could be part of the class action lawsuit ( search IMS lawsuit owners win) if it had a serial number in the range of cars affected. Check out that thread- it may be worth a phone call to the law firm or PCNA.

i think factory will help, just got a new engine in my 006, had to pay for install tho. initial quote for new engine was a heartbreaking 30k, ended up costing me 8k. there is hope just talk it out with dealership and get them to talk to factory. good luck.

Why did you need a new engine? I recall a post from you about your engine making a clatter sound. Did you ever find out what the problem was?

That's not great news. If I buy a new Porsche and lose an engine under warranty on a track, I'd be genuinely surprised if Porsche wouldn't stand behind it. The brand impact of "Porsche, not for the track" would be significant. For out of warranty cars, they are obviously under no obligation.

Same issue
I had the same issue happen to my 2007 997 in June with 50,013 miles on it. On acceleration at about 70-80 mph I heard a pop, then there was a cloud of white smoke and the engine shut off. I took it to the dealer and I received a similar quote.

Sadly, the only available solution for me is to buy an new engine from Porsche. I did research several alternatives but because the cost, the only option I'm comfortable with is going directly through Porsche Service.
