I'll report back once my car goes to my "indi" shop (end of March). They're experienced with Porsche cars and have worked on mine in the past and usually pretty "conservative" when it comes to determining what does and doesn't need to be replaced.

As I've written in the past my 98' with 95,000 miles has been relatively problem free. Other than regular maintenance I've only replaced the water pump and coolant expansion tank.

Thanks to those that responded. I'll report back.

(FYI....lots of (what appear to be very clean and working)) replacement canisters on eBay for a fraction of the retail price ...but I have a feeling my "indi" won't want me to bring in a part of my own.....plus, IF the CEL light returned after install I'd be buying another from him PLUS more labor)
