Fault codes
200 indexed codes with generation-specific context and links into fault finding.
Fault patterns
IMS, bore scoring and AOS ranked the way they really fail on a 987.

Fitment tools
Stock wheel and tyre sizes on file for the DIY tools.
Two generations under one code.
987.1
2005–2008
The M96 / M97 era
The IMS-bearing and bore-scoring years. Beautiful to drive, and worth knowing inside out before you buy or service one.
987.2
2009–2012
The 9A1 refresh
New direct-injection engines with no IMS bearing, plus available PDK — a big step in reliability and pace.
