  1. Hi Maybe it is not to late to save your engine, stop cranking the engine, if an amount of cooling water penetrates in to the cylinder liner by a faulty cylinder gasket during overnight and you crank the engine, while the piston start his compression stroke, the thin cylinder liner will crack ( hydraulic fluid cant by compressed ) Build the engine out of the car, dismount the cylinder heads and look for faulty gaskets or leaking gallery plugs, both issues can repaired in the shop. If you have already a cracked liner or one of them sits deeper than the others, a factory rebuild engine with warranty is a solution. Good luck.

  21. Hi Trey fvd.de article FVD 987 100 02 - 5.548,00 Euro without tax and shipment ( engine tuning kits 2.7 litre - 265Hp @6500 rpm 295Nm @ 5000 - 5500 rpm
  22. Hi The 996 clutch is not the same as a 987 997 clutch, the main difference is situated in the pressure plate, the 987 997 plate is equipped with a automatic adjustable mechanism witch eliminate the pedal lift when the clutch is coming to his end. The intention is to have the same feeling in pedal play with a new clutch as with a used clutch as well. The dual mass flywheel needs a replacement if the contact area is worn out or the displacement is out of specifications, witch is not so easy to diagnose and the flywheels that are replaced unneccecary are countless. Don't forget that the details makes the difference and sometimes you need a professional skill to prevent you to do more bad than good and waste time and money. Success
  23. Hi Spark plug change 996 MY 2002 -- 60.000Km or 4 years what ever come first.
  24. Hi The tiptronic gearboxes are from Mercedes Benz on 996 and 997 since MY 2002 or 2003. ZF tips are only for 986 987 and 987-C. Look out for this!
