Crazymind Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 good shout mate. Not familiar yet with 986 and Porsche It's new to me the car from last week. Is there any tip to fix this issue or replacing coil pack will fix it? (if leaking from there of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look on YouTube for a how to video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part number - tube is 996 105 325 52 (or 999 917 788 00), inner o-ring 999 707 343 00 (25.07mm x 2.62mm o-ring), outer o-ring 999 707 215 40 (27.94 x 5.33 o-ring).

½cwt Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Received two dehumidifying bags I had ordered. I weighed them on arrival as they claimed to be 200g but felt heavier, were in fact approx. 245g so microwaved for 5 mins and put on a radiator to remove the condensed steam from the microwaving, reweighed at 220g. So if you get some dry them before use. Now in the car doing their stuff I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pordave Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 That’s £350 is a start then on the £1,500 to £2,000 we mostly reckon it costs in the first year of Porsche ownership. Well done on the diy by the way! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazymind Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 that's bad ass advice! Looked at the procedure to replace oil to the 5 speed box/diff, nothing about the 6box. Can't locale drain plug without removing the plate. I was wondering if I could unplug the fill plug and pump out the oil instead of opening the drain plug and refill. Anyone done that?

I paid my indy to do the gearbox oil change a couple of years ago. IIRC £190+VAT including extracting and replacing seized plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazymind Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Removed spark plugs tubes, easy 10 minutes job. Made my extractor with 5” bolt and washer as suggested by many. I have started to clean the oil on the rocker cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL888 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 The S had a well deserved Hunters 4 wheel laser alignment. With extra negative camber at the front made a noticeable improvement☺️. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like that and feel the need for more then font forget you can Dremel the top mount slot circa 5mm for circa 0.5 Deg extra neg camber. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
