Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Porsche 911, especially older models, is notorious for developing oil leaks from the rear main seal, valve covers, and oil cooler seals.

Ims bearing failure

Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing failure can lead to catastrophic engine damage, a known issue in Porsche 911 models from the late 1990s to mid-2000s.

Cylinder scoring

The 6-cylinder engines in these models can suffer from cylinder scoring, leading to a loss of compression and engine performance.

Coolant leaks

Coolant leaks from the water pump or coolant hoses are common issues in older Porsche 911 models.

Timing chain tensioner failure

The timing chain tensioners can fail, leading to a noisy engine and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Vacuum leaks

Older vacuum lines can become brittle and crack, leading to vacuum leaks that affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Air-oil separator failure

The air-oil separator can fail, causing oil to enter the intake system, leading to smoking and poor engine performance.
