Default Well I'm back !!!

It's been almost 2 years since the last time I signed
I can see there's a lot of newbies, welcome; little recap I bought a low miles cabrio with 3900 miles to be exact in 2014. Since I own the vehicle this has been done :
- New tires
- Sparkplugs
- Serpentine belt
- Brake fluid maintenance (twice)
- Tires (2 sets so far)
- Ignition switch
- Hydraulic actuators
- Light bulbs
- Door window regulators both
- Window regulator rear both
- Head Light switch cover
- Hood shocks
- Water pump

This year has been special :
- Battery
- Water pump
- Radio
Today they found a leak possible the RMS so I decided to take the plunge and replace clutch, IMS and install direct oil feed at 25000 miles well I will report and upload some pics.

Smart move! Did you install all of these items yourself or have a shop do it for you? What brand of IMS bearing?

At 3900 miles since 2014, the RMS might just be weeping due to lack of use/mileage. Change the oil/filter and put some miles on it and see what happens.

Welcome back carrera blue. Why did you replace your water pump twice in 4 years?

Nice to meet you! Some pics of the car would be great

For where you live and the comment about the DOF, I think that you also know the great guys at TuneRS. They are the ones that also carry out all what my car need.

I hope to see you around!

I used to read this recommendation and thought it was bizarre. Then I bought a 996 with a leaky RMS that hadn't been driven much. I cleaned it up and started driving it a bunch, and lo and behold, the leak disappeared... It is a no cost thing worth trying, and if it doesn't work you are no worse off - you're right back where you started.

This - it has happened with my 997 as well.

In 5 years I drove 24000 miles, I believe is a decent amount of miles for a non daily car
