Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Porsche 911, especially older models like the 2001, are known for oil leaks, often due to worn gaskets or seals.

Ims bearing failure

Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing issues are notorious in 996 models, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure if not addressed.

Cooling system issues

Radiator and coolant leaks are common, which can lead to overheating if not properly maintained.

Valve cover gasket leaks

The valve cover gaskets can wear out over time, causing oil leaks and potential engine damage if not replaced.

Misfires

Faulty ignition coils or spark plugs can cause engine misfires, leading to poor performance and potential long-term damage.

Camshaft deviation

Issues with the camshaft deviation can arise, often related to the timing chain or tensioners, leading to performance issues.

Air-oil separator failure

A failing 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 fuel economy, rough idling, and reduced performance.
