Coolant flush with vacuum fill tool
987_RDC replied to mtimmy's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I had the snap-on from earlier use on domestic cars but Uview looks like a great tool. I guess I need to check the front radiator tubes also since not sure if pulling vacuum past the thermostat. That could explain the system quickly returning to atmosphere. Adapter arrives this weekend. -
Coolant flush with vacuum fill tool
987_RDC replied to mtimmy's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
How long does a vacuumed coolant system hold the vacuum? I got my system to 25 in/vac but wouldnt hold for long. Thinking it is the crappy "o-ring over hacked off radiator neck" adapter I tried to fab up. Just ordered a universal radiator adapter (1DXN1 or MV4506 instead of Snap on priced:YA4505) for my SVTSRAD262A kit. -
Nothing to release on a MY1999. You still have a manual release on MY2000 and older cars. The electronic release for front and rear lids came in MY2001. I understand that. But does the unlock still function? Seems the 2 and 3 button remotes are less expensive to order.
-
Interested in the same thing. Anyone confirm 3 or 2 button remotes working for 1999?

Ok thanks. Let me know if I should edit post to remove previous link to old ones.

Ah yes further reading I found that recommendation has been updated to 120*. Seems I am fine with the 67 ft/lbs I torqued my set. BTW those manuals do not have the incorrect 90* recommendation. It was poster above. Manual lists as noted 67 ft/lbs. Where are the updated manuals?
-
Checking the 996 engine manuals at (link removed) Seems Engine 1 pdf lists flywheel ft lbs at 67 on page 116. I recall having to use a breaker bar to take off the flywheel bolts so suprised they are only on 17 ft lbs + 90*

Hopefully it is the oil cooler. One word of caution is to not buy a used oil cooler as replacement. (might be obvious)
-
Sounds like you had intermix originally which killed your last AOS and any future one since the mix eats plastic seals. If your oil isnt milkshake then you might want to pressure test the oil cooler.

Under performing seal
987_RDC replied to Loren's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Wow dumb luck that when tapping my seal in using a large lantern flashlight as the guide I "accidentally" put it in about 5-6mm too deep. I was originally pissed off since couldn't get the thing to go in straight at all until figuring out to take the top off the light and use that as guide.
