Each Model's Front and Rear Tires
Burbank's afternoons can be twenty or thirty degrees hotter than its mornings, and a tire's pressure follows the air. On a Porsche, the right pressure depends on the model, because many run different pressures front and rear. The figures on the door placard or fuel-filler flap are cold pressures, set for that car's handling. A mechanic who knows the model knows which numbers apply.
The Macan has wider tires at the back than the front, so they can't be swapped front to rear, and each axle wears at its own pace. The 9Y0 Cayenne, from 2019, is the first Cayenne with the same split. Mismatched wear on a Macan makes the transfer case clutch slip on every mile. That is why a Macan mechanic checks the tires before blaming the transfer case.
A 911 Is Known by Its Year
A 2003 Carrera and a 2013 Carrera share very few engine parts. The M96 and M97 ran from 1999 to 2008, a direct-injection engine followed in 2009, and from 2017 every Carrera is turbocharged. The IMS bearing exists only in the earlier engines. If anyone quotes an IMS job on a 2009 or later Carrera, the car doesn't have one.
The badge matters too. The 996 and 997.1 Turbo and the GT cars use the Mezger engine, with no IMS bearing and its own glued-in coolant fittings. A specialist settles the year and badge before quoting. That keeps the work to what your car actually needs.
