Although less common in newer models, intermediate shaft bearing issues have been a problem in some Porsche engines, leading to severe engine damage.
Coolant leaks
The water pump and coolant hoses can sometimes fail, causing coolant leaks and potentially leading to overheating.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.
Engine mount wear
Engine mounts can wear over time, leading to vibrations and engine movement that can affect performance.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to rough idling, misfires, and poor engine performance.

Problems:

Oil leaks
Common in Porsche 911s, oil leaks can occur from the rear main seal or the IMS bearing, leading to decreased engine performance.
Coolant leaks
The engine may experience coolant leaks from the water pump or hoses, which can result in overheating issues.
Ims bearing failure
Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing failure is a known problem in some Porsche engines, which can lead to catastrophic engine damage if not addressed.
Cylinder scoring
The 6-cylinder engine in the 911 can suffer from cylinder scoring, which affects performance and longevity.
Timing chain tensioner failure
This can lead to improper timing and potentially severe engine damage if the chain slips or breaks.
Air-oil separator issues
Failure of the air-oil separator can cause excessive oil consumption and smoke from the exhaust.
Fuel injector problems
Clogged or failing fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Turbocharger issues (if equipped)
Turbocharged models may experience turbo failure or boost leaks, affecting engine power and performance.
Vacuum leaks
Leaks in the vacuum system can cause rough idling, stalling, and reduced engine efficiency.
Spark plug and ignition coil failures
These components may wear out or fail, leading to misfires and rough running conditions.
