I will not argue against you on those questions I was merely pointing out that, from what I have hear from people and also read myself up on, the problems with the IMSB didnīt happen the second Porsche changed from single to double bearing.

Yes, most recent 04 cap. Expansion tank replaced, as well as the water pump and the AOS.
