Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Porsche 911, especially older models, is notorious for oil leaks. These can occur from various points such as valve cover gaskets, rear main seals, or oil cooler seals.

Ims bearing failure

Although less common in newer models, some 911 engines have experienced intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing failures, which can lead to catastrophic engine damage.

Coolant leaks

Coolant leaks can develop due to worn-out hoses, clamps, or radiators, often leading to overheating if not addressed promptly.

Timing chain issues

Timing chain and tensioner problems can arise, leading to poor engine performance or even engine failure if the chain breaks.

High oil consumption

Some 911 engines are known to consume oil at a higher rate than normal, which could indicate worn piston rings or valve guides.

Misfires

Engine misfires can be caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.

Thermostat failure

A failing thermostat can cause the engine to run too hot or too cold, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum leaks can lead to rough idling, stalling, and decreased fuel efficiency, often caused by cracked or disconnected vacuum hoses.
