New Porsche AOS reading 5.3 WC - opinions??

After replacing my ver.00 AOS with a new Porsche Genuine AOS ver.01 I was disappointed to find that the new AOS was still reading between 6.21 and 7.28 inWC. Pretty much what the old one was reading. Here’s my original thread:

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it??

Not trusting my $35 manometer, I ordered a Fieldpiece manometer. With the Fieldpiece my new AOS is reading in the high fives cold and 5.32 - 5.41 warm. The cheap manometer is off by ~1 inWC



JFP indicated that anything above 5.0 warm is candidate for replacement. The Pelican article says 4-7 is ok. I think I’m going to call it good at 5.32, watching for symptoms and monitoring WC regularly. I really don’t want to go back in and risk breaking the AOS plastic squeeze clamps unless I really need to.

What do you guys think???
