Over the winter or early next year, I will have access to a car hoist for a few days, so....I plan to remove the bumpers, underbody covers & arch liners.
After a few corrosion issues on my old 996, I've already had a quick look under the 997 and it's much cleaner (it is 9 years newer!)
So far I plan to check:
Power steering hose clamps.
Fuel hoses to injector rails. (Had to replace the 996 set)
Clutch release hose crimp connector. (Had to replace the 996 hose)
Brake lines.
Vacuum pumps (need advice on these please)
Exhaust studs.
AC pipes & condensers.
I think I read DeMort mention cross over pipes? Are these coolant?
What is the best preventative method? I have that funky Kurust treatment that turns rust black & I've heard good things about ACF-50. Rub down, treat them paint off grease?
Any advice appreciated as always.
