Ive got the Porsche PET Will try and get copies of the three pages of Pipes and Hoses Buy direct from POrsche they are incredibly cheap average 15.00 each Only problem is there ar LOTS of them

 
This book 101 Projects is great it shows you how to replace all your hoses BUT you've got to get under vehicle and really need a LiftWife not happy about me installing a lift on the drive !!

Get quote from Porsche before you look elsewhere for Pipes ie Main pipe from Coolant tank to Engine (with three pipes coming of it)18.00 !!

 
hi richardjjs mines the same so i have been looking at these scissors type ramps saw one make at the classic car show that works off mains electric not three phase. 1400.00 and it sit under your car in the garage its called the tamar have a look www.strongmantools.co.uk.

 
Have you got Richard Hammonds Book! Back from Holiday early Waiting to here where the water leak is Many years ago I stripped a urquattro down Had ir resprayed and rebuilt it - on my drive way Because of the large number of pipes I just felt I could not get the Porsche high enough to check the water pipes It take two hours for the leak to show properly Know today if its serious PS Have you got the Porsche Parts List (PET)]

 
Hi richardjjs1 Richard Hamilton is the moderator for 996 group a very knowledgeable man. Yes I found his book on the net in the states it covers every thing you would need to ask also has pics of parts and locations of all sorts of stuff.

 
I have the Porsche Parts List PET Should be able to send details Also Porsche Manual COPY from states Some of it is really good 101 Projects is published by a US Parts sullpier If you are in UK Make sure you get prices from Porsche FIRST

Some parts are Cheap (And I mean Good value)

 
Hi Richard thanks for the info as I say I've bought the great book 101 996 projects can't wait to see that ,can it be possible to email me the parts list by any chance Richard ,if not don't worry my email is Frankibaby7@hotmail.com

A job I've been dreading started today, Well started quite good removed air filter box and throttle body"straight forward enough". After this I stuck my phone in and took some pics seeing if I could locate the sensor, and sure enough there it is right behind/underneath the ac pump. My friend came round and degassed the unit for me so I could remove it took out the three bolts two at the front and one at the back. Before this I forgot to mention I had to take off the offside inlet manifold what a pain in the rear that was. Opened up my new sensor/level indicator and found they sent the wrong one for turbo/gt3 had my dobuts when I saw how big the nut was. seeing as the air filter box was off I took the chance to change the fan belt seeing it had a few more cracks in it than I wanted to see.

About 20 minutes after I disconnected the battery tracker called me and asked if I was near the car. After me telling the guy I was working on it he told to reconnect the battery or the tracker battery would run down after so long and they can't be recharged once gone flat. Let you know what I find once I take out the oil level / temp sensor.

 
Blimey Simon you certainly don't let many people touch your car because you do it all yourself , I'm not sure I would attempt all that sort of work mate , very intresting though ,hope you sort it soon , do you go to the brands meeting at all ...

Than Simon .

Nearest circuit is Oulton Park in Cheshire did have a track day with quattro Owners Club many years ago when I had 2 quattros
