Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

24 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 2Original post

crack cocaine??? sorry, could not resist Might be residue from condensation, look at this link for an example of many similar threads: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...owish-goo.html

POST 3Original post

Looks like the typical foam that's from condensation (produced by shorter drives, when sustained temperatures are insufficient to evaporate) that has dried to a crusty consistency. Inspect carefully for intermix (just to be extra safe - unlikely). Doubtful any real reason for concern.

. Did I mention I bought this car from Pablo Escobar's collection? Thanks for the link.

POST 6Original post

Now that we're getting into the warmer weather, the filler tube "Mayo/Crack Cocaine" should disappear until the weather gets cold again (i.e. - it's condensation...it won't happen when the filler tube is warm...)
