I'm a competent and experienced DIY mechanic so I'm wondering how straightforward it is to replace the air oil separator on a 2.9 987.2 Cayman? Any advice/instructions welcome.
The reason I'm asking is that my car occasionally emits a cloud of blue smoke on start up. The OPC found no problem when the previous owner reported it because they couldn't make it happen in their workshop. The bores have been inspected with no problem found. I know that the most common answer is that "they all do that sometimes", however it would also appear that a faulty/worn air oil separator can cause similar issues. I though that for the relatively low cost of the part I might as well replace it anyway. I haven't yet phoned an OPC for a price on the part but I've seen them here for £61.00 delivered.
