It Looks like it may solve the 'garage queen' issue because like he said in the video it does seem to be happening more to cars that don't get used much or thrashed, but who knows, what i am worried about is mine is a driveway queen that i have owned for 5 years now and only average about 1000 miles a year so this has got me worried ! And i don't need a clutch yet as it had a new clutch about a year before i bought the car.

Thanks Baz for your detailed post, can i just ask you how worried i should be with my 996/2 3.6 engine having this problem which has now reach 52000 miles, but does sit about for weeks at a time without been used and i have only averaged about 1000 miles a year for the past 5 years, when i do use it i do take it out for long runs and do make sure i keep it below 3rpm until it has warmed up, i just don't know what to do for the best !
