    I always thought that device was a relay, just called by another name, as Porsche uses relays on their other earlier vehicles. After reading up on this device, apparently this new control unit eliminates the need for resistors to control fan speeds (which were always troublesome), and is also being used in the later cars as well. Learn something new every day. Thanks Ahsai. On the downside, instead of a $20 relay and a couple of resistors, now you need to jump for a $700+ fan assembly.

    The red lines are hot water flowing to the radiators, the blue lines the cooled water returning to the engine. By disconnecting the line just before the thermostat housing, you should be able to run the system backwards and dislodge what can be gotten out. It will not be perfect, but it is your best shot. The big issue here is to try and dislodge any bits that are inside the cylinder heads.

    Welcome to RennTech :welcome: You need to flush your system backwards to normal flow to try and get out as much of the impeller as possible:

    Welcome to Renntech :welcome: You need to get a qualified body shop to look at the car and give you a breakdown on what is damaged, it is nearly impossible to estimate what is required from photos as they do not show the damge beneath the body work (supports, braces, etc.). Perhaps one of our North Jersey/NYC/Lower NY state members can chime in on good shop references.

    Not really sure that will work; the 1998-2001 996 cars used the K03 cluster, while the 1997-2000 986 used the K01 cluster. Perhaps someone that has done this swap could chime in with more info..............

    I belevie they are now also 75K, but I would check LN's website for the most updated information.

    Item #12: Retails for just under $20. Jeff are you sure that's not the starter relay? What's the pn on it? # 141-951-253-B $18.79 One of three (#8): You may want to check that part number with a dealer, it has been superceeded more than once.

    You may have a bad relay on that fan; suggest pulling it while the fan is running, if it switches off, you found your problem.

    Not really necessary with a power bleeder, just put the fluid in the power bleeder and have at it.
  11. JFP in PA
    Until you have put the car up in the air and look to see what is actually leaking, you really do not know what you are dealing with. Oil leaks come from many places. Look into it first, then get back with your questions.
  12. JFP in PA
    thanks JFP. Will Durametric reveal the fault? It should.
  13. JFP in PA
    It is indicating a fault in the system, you need to get the vehicle scanned with a Porsche specific scan tool to find out what the problem is.
  14. JFP in PA
    Yes, and then we blow them dry with compressed air so there is no lint. We flush solvent through the calipers as well, also followed by compressed air.
  15. JFP in PA
    A lot of expense and effort if it is not the source. I would start by double checking the OEM part numbers against what Porsche lists. You can use Sunset Porsche's online parts system to do this. Was there any problem with the car's hydraulic system before you did the clutch?
  16. JFP in PA
    We solvent clean the calipers and components, and then blow out the passages with compressed air.
  17. JFP in PA
    Year and model is always helpful. Possible cam cover or plug tubes (depending upon year). It could be either. Suggest cleaning the area and then keep an eye on how it develops.
  18. JFP in PA
    Yes, there could be pending codes which have not tripped the light yet.
  19. JFP in PA
    Ok, the reason I asked is that it sounds like you are pushing the pressure plate over center (turning the fingers inside out), which will cause the pedal to stick to the floor. Are all the parts OEM or after market?
  20. JFP in PA
    What did you change when you did your clutch?
  21. JFP in PA
    Depending upon how dirty or corroded, pretty much so.
  22. JFP in PA
    Did you bleed the clutch with the pedal held to the floor? If not, re-bleed it.
  23. JFP in PA
    Year and model is always helpful. Possible cam cover or plug tubes (depending upon year).
  24. JFP in PA
    The hard line flare nut can be undone without removing the clip, but as the clip will need to come off to remove the flex line anyway, I would just take it off.
  25. JFP in PA
    Not necessary.
