Data collected so far for 77 cars (25th June 2015).
Here's a couple of bar charts showing which engines and models have sustained a failure:
Total number of failures - 7.8% (Not including the LN as a original failure)
of which 3.4 - 0% and 3.6 - 10.9%
of which all X51 - 0%, C2 - 10.5% and C4S - 12.9%
Last reported failure was July 2014 (not including the LN failure).

It would be interesting to invite Boxster/Cayman owners to contribute too- presumably they share the same IMS bearing.
Are we brave enough to start a Bore Scoring survey for Alex to run his spreadsheet magic?
We could update our original posts with bore scoring yes/no.

I'd love to see the correlation between 'failures' and 'first time posters' on 911uk as well. Could be my imagination but it often seems to be someone who never posted before or who posted minimally who suddenly pops up on a Porsche forum with IMS issues. And then quietly vanishes a short while thereafter. Along with their car, their story, the outcome etc.
Are we still waiting for the diagnosis on this one?

You're doing a great job of giving people "real world" facts about the IMS issue that if you were to believe the interwebs, you'd think every single one failed! I'm sure there's lots of people that appreciate it as much as me
But, of course, we all know that it's bore scoring that affects all the 3.6 engine ever made!! :evil:
(maybe..) :grin:
