Is this a common rust spot? Also, where are the most common rust spots on a 964?

At the lower corners of the windshield are notorious rust spots.

I have a question regarding that area of the car that has the rust spot. I have a humming/vibrating sound in that area when the car is on. Is there a fuel pump or something in that area that is on when the car is running?

That's the cover for the fuel pump. It's always rusty and easy enough to sand and repaint. Not to worry. It's like engine tins...if they are there, they are rusty, unless they have come out to be powder coated...

So dont think of that as the same rust you find on a body. Total non-issue.

If the humming is loud, it's likely just old hard bushings on the fuel pump. There was a thread ages ago about a DIY to rehab them...I would just buy a new fuel pump carrier and be done. (Unless you have a real problem with the fuel pump)

Thank you Goughary, I will look into purchasing that carrier/bracket.

I wouldn't recommend it. Its my understanding that the CCU controls the oil cooler fan. But someone please double check me.

Default Flapper Servos
Anyone know a good place that sells or rebuilds the flapper servo units? One of mine is frozen.
