Hello everyone again
I haven't visited this forum for quite a while, so I've got a couple of questions.
Firstly, and I'm sorry if this is stupid, but does the UK spec 996 have an OIL/AIR SEPARATOR?....if they do I'm pretty sure my 996 hasn't has one replaced...certainly since not in my 7 years ownership.
The car has done 88k and I can't see anything in the service history.
I have only driven about 11k in 7 years.
Second question....and again I'm sorry....but it's about the IMS bearing. It's still the original bearing in my car...am I correct in thinking this year has a double or dual row IMS bearing?
I hope the bearing is OK....and there is no evidence of any metal filings or similar in the oil filter.....I run MOBILE ONE 0w40 and changed annually.....I keep the old oil filter. Is it recommended to replace this bearing as a just in case?.....and if so could someone please recommend a suitable replacement and /or a specialist to carry out the work....I don't think I could afford a Porsche main dealer to do the job!!
I hope you can advise Myron the above.
