Jason986S Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I drove mine to work 2 days in a row! What an absolute treat. Even the little downpour yesterday proves the roof still beads after a Fabsil treatment a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 adjusted Molly's short shift as it was a little tight going into 2/4 &6 - 2 min job with instant reward. Too cold to whip off the frunk switch and test why that wasn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a new part, refurb, e-bay special or what, thanks. Howdy, BMW E46 washers have exactly the same jets. You just dremmel open the case they are in, pop some superglue in your case, (reason they blow out is the housing will have cracked) push it in making sure it is roughly at the right angle. You can also get a large cable tie around your cracked housing to pull it in tight this sits below the trim & cant be seen but will help to hold onto your new jet. They look like this & are readily available, cheap fix :-) - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bmw-E46-3-Series-O-S-Drivers-Headlight-washer-Nozzles-99-06-ALL-MODELS-/291937591522?hash=item43f8d620e2:g:Uy8AAOSwuzRXc2aQ Cheers, me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 This is such a common issue - top marks for your ingenuity sir. If you can be bothered, I would suggest sticking a thread in the "how to" with that ebay link in, help others in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banjo1 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 ive just changed my fuel filter. hard to believe that despite the full porsche and well known indy service history my car has it was still fitted with the original filter(date stamped march 2001) the fuel i drained from the old filter was black and cutting it open it looked like an old oil filter! the job is a bit of a faf but i can confirm the mahle filter i fitted(kl80)is identical to the porsche item,£18 from opie oils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bally4563 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Finally got the 987 air box installed!!!!!!! Do not whomever tackles this job and break the crankcase breather, it's brittle as hard toffee and is absolute bast..d to do something with eventually resorted to 1/2" pipe and fittings coupled up with those tw*t of push on-fittings that you can barely see never mind work on-my arms and hands look like I do lion taming for a living!!!!

Blackadder30 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 In comparison to fuel filters and air boxes, I've had an easy day with mine although I have been trying to resolve the issue if the wipers not working in the 944 Cab as well.... Partially installed my bargain buy in the Boxster.... I say partially as the arial lead in the Boxster is the standard size where as the new head unit is smaller so an adapter will be needed.... It's the Becker head unit which is the usual Radio and CD of the CDR22 made for Porsche by Becker.... but this is also the Sat Nav version from the Rover 75 and it's a bargain price in comparison to the Porsche branded identical unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth it though! Interesting to see if your fueling is ok afterwards. Mine was perfect till I installed the 996 TB and 987 airbox, then was running way too rich, so wasn't getting the most of the upgrades.
