That's a very good idea , it was the first thing I did on this Turbo when I bought it.
Leading evidence: 'first thing i did' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'first thing i did' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean uk car.(for any car!)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I say it quite often on here but I don't understand why these bolts are not recommended to be changed by the specialist garages that service them before they corrode to the point of no return?!

Is that your car?, if so that's impressively clean for a UK car.(for any car!)

I should stress the impact gun was set on its lowest setting with no chance of snapping the head off if it was stuck

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.

I found this little film I made for my brother in the US
It just shows what a new cars manifold bolts look like and how easily they come out
This was a couple of years ago and the car had about 10k miles on it but it is 20yrs old!
I should stress the impact gun was set on its lowest setting with no chance of snapping the head off if it was stuck
Just noticed someone on here looking fora Stomski Jig to help drill these out on a regular M96 engine I would think.
Yours look really good too..what's the mileage?
Mine is a 2005 with 15k miles
I wonder if they're less likely to seize in a Mezger engine
I changed mine in 2011 and they've stayed good because I don't use the car in the salt at all, and it's stored in a decent warmish garage. Car is 2005 my and has 71k!

Hopefully this will work

I think you're right the turbo's don't suffer as much as the NA's but I have seen a few with snapped bolts.
I say it quite often on here but I don't understand why these bolts are not recommended to be changed by the specialist garages that service them before they corrode to the point of no return?!
Maybe I should put a warning post in the 991 section as they are of the age where it's not too late!
That's a very good idea , it was the first thing I did on this Turbo when I bought it.
Really interesting to see your car's bolts looking so good at 71K , they're no different to mine.
I'm not sure driving in the winter would be any worse as the threads are so hot and protected I can't see how salty water would get into them.
I've applied Molykote to all the important bolts on the Turbo and the C2.
