Guys,
Any inside or advice about a 2004 911 Turbo convertible? Car has 36k mls and original paint and being sold by a Porsche dealer. I'm looking for expirance about the awd and general maintenance. What I understood is that the Turbo has a Metzler type engine, hence no issues with the IMT. Yes, no? Any other typical/known issue? Thanks for sharing the knowledge! dc |

has no IMS bearing problems.
The cooling system lines will need to be addressed because they can split and cause you problems. Also scan it for over revs, category 1 is fine category 2 is not. Generally the car is a very solidly built car, look at the tires, and see if it shows signs of misalignment or abuse, if the tires are more than 5 years old re place them. |
