Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 2006 Porsche 911, particularly with higher horsepower engines, is known for developing oil leaks, often from the rear main seal or the valve cover gasket.

Ims bearing failure

Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing issues are common in Porsche 911 engines from this era, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure if not addressed.

Coolant leaks

The coolant system, including hoses and the water pump, can develop leaks over time, which may cause the engine to overheat if not properly maintained.

Engine mount wear

Given the performance nature of the Porsche 911, engine mounts can wear out, leading to excessive engine movement and drivability concerns.

Fuel injector issues

Fuel injectors in the 2006 Porsche 911 can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Spark plug fouling

Performance engines like the one in the 2006 Porsche 911 can experience spark plug fouling, which affects ignition and overall engine performance.

Timing chain tensioner wear

Wear on the timing chain tensioner can lead to improper timing, which affects engine performance and can cause significant damage if not addressed.

Air-oil separator failure

The air-oil separator can fail, leading to oil entering the intake system, which causes smoke and potential engine issues.
