My AOS, factory Porsche, replaced 25,000 miles ago (4 years). Total, 81,000 on my car now.
I am having gearbox removed for Clutch/Flywheel work.
I think I should go ahead and replace AOS again as preventive maintenance?
Thoughts?
Thanks

Replace it with a UAOS now.
Then if it ever fails, no need to spend hours trying to replace it (or retrofit UAOS) when the engine is installed.
If the UAOS diaphragm fails while the engine is in the car, it will take under 5 minutes to replace the diaphragm on the UAOS compared to 4-6 hours or more replacing the factory AOS.
Now is DEFINITELY the time to do it!

And if you order the UAOS before the end of the month, you get the upgraded Aluminum accumulator in addition to the sealed AOS, separate diaphragm unit and hoses/fittings - all for about $500... Sweet deal!

I am on record saying I wouldn’t put his 3D printed part on my engine. The machined aluminum one would be a valid option for factory part IMO. Hopefully he’d still sell me one....
