Leafs in intake grills
Anyone else got this problem? Some serious crud with the leaves too, just seems to collect. I need thinner arms to get in and clear them out. My 996 turbo would eat rads due to wet leafs, so used chicken wire grates to keep them out. Was this a problem pre facelift?

I know, but search revealed less on leaf, so stuck with leaf for search. Leaves has a double meaning.

The mesh in prefacelift prevented whole leaves to enter the area. FL allows leaves to go in there and stay. Sadly vacuum seems to be the remedy
