    Windshield retainer question

    You need the ECV/REV retainers. A few members also have reproductions available. The standard 998 retainers can also be drilled to fit the existing well nuts on a budget. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DB2 Guide Stud Removal

    I had the same problem on an M998. I ended up sending the pump out for service anyway. I figure the rebuilder had to apply heat (sans fuel) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    6.5l TD engine valley clean up q

    Good news confirmed no leaks from the IP after some extended driving. Looks like I have leaks from the RT return lines which I have not yet serviced. Additionally #3 injector appears to be leaking from the main body. I’ll validate that and rebuild or replace. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
