Kingston’s Porsche Engine Repair Experts

Porsche drivers already know all too well about the unmatched power and performance of their high-performance luxury vehicles. Whether you drive a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS, a 718 Spyder RS, or a Porsche Turbo model, you’re in for tons of excitement every time you get behind the wheel. However, to keep your Porsche driving at its best, you must take proper care of the engine, including the intermediate shaft, or IMS, bearing. If it has issues, this tiny engine component can cause big problems. The IMS bearing has been found in Porsche vehicles since 1965. It drives the camshafts indirectly off the crankshaft. This reduces the speed of the chains. While IMS bearings are incredibly helpful for extending chain lifespan, they can also cause many problems if they fail. And unfortunately, some Porsche intermediate shaft bearings have been known to fail after just 3,000 miles. If you think you need Porsche IMS repair, contact the ASE-certified mechanics at SSA European Auto Repair in Kingston, Massachusetts. As Plymouth County’s leading European car care experts, we have the expertise to efficiently replace your IMS bearing and help keep your Porsche’s engine in optimal condition. 

Does Your Porsche Have IMS Bearing Problems?

If your intermediate shaft bearing fails, it may lead to misalignments or irregular synchronization between the camshafts and crankshafts, causing costly engine problems. Some of the most common symptoms of failing Porsche IMS bearings include unusual rattling or knocking noises coming from the engine, poor engine performance, rough idling, sluggish acceleration, reduced power output, and metal shavings found in the oil during oil changes. IMS bearings can fail for a variety of reasons, including lubrication issues, contaminants in your motor oil, age, and mileage. Is your Porsche exhibiting any of these red flags? If so, contact the ASE-certified Porsche IMS repair mechanics at SSA European Auto Repair in Kingston, Massachusetts, today.
