I bought my '01 Carerra three months ago. Love the car!! It had 52k on the clock. There were no engine oil leaks or noises or metallic dust in the oil/filter to lead me to believe that IMS bearing failure was imminent but I decided to go ahead and have the it replaced for peace of mind.

Once it was torn into, the original bearing did not have any grease packed in it but there were no visible signs of damage. Replaced the clutch disc while we were there as well as the AOS.
