I've got a 997.1 Carrera and like every other owner I've been reading horror stories about the IMS bearing for years. Mine's at 68k now and the paranoid part of me wants to get it inspected before something catastrophic happens. The dealer quoted me an amount that made me close the browser tab immediately. A friend who tracks his Cayman told me about a Premium Porsche repair garage in Musaffah and said they've done proper engine work on these cars, not just oil changes and brake pads. I'm not saying I definitely need the bearing replaced but I want someone who can actually assess it and give me an honest answer rather than scare tactics. Has anyone here had IMS related work done in the UAE? What did it cost and did you feel confident in the shop afterwards?
