Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Porsche 911 models from the 1990s, especially the 1997 model, are known to develop oil leaks due to aging gaskets and seals.

Ims bearing failure

The Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing is a well-documented issue in Porsche engines from this era, leading to catastrophic engine failure if not addressed.

Cylinder scoring

Engine cylinders may develop scoring due to wear and tear, leading to reduced performance and increased oil consumption.

Coolant leaks

Aging hoses and connections can lead to coolant leaks, which can cause overheating if not properly managed.

Spark plug fouling

Older engines can experience spark plug fouling, which affects engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain can stretch or wear out over time, leading to poor engine timing and performance issues.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum hoses and connections can become brittle and develop leaks, causing rough idling and poor fuel economy.
