What owners report
50,000 MILES. IN SHOP BECAUSE OF SECURITY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND AN OIL CHANGE. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT AN IMS BEARING IS THROWING OFF BRASS FLAKES WHICH I COULD SEE IN THE OIL FILTER. THIS PROBLEM WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL. EVIDENTLY IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE. THE3 2001 PORSCHE IS KNOWN FOR THIS ENGINE PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE PNA. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC THE ENGINE IS FLAWED IN ITS DESIGNED AND NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS CAR.
