Where to get an engine diagram

[apmilano]

I hope this isn't a totally dumb question but I am a new owner of a great 2001 911 996.

I had the car inspected and it checked out perfectly. But today I was looking at the engine with my friend because I wanted to think about how hard it would be to clean.

I noticed a clear-ish fluid container on the left hand side that was only marked Max and Min and a part number starting with 996..

The other fluid containers are marked with what is in them..oil, hydrolic fluid... This one does not say what it is? And its lower than the min line.

I can't find any diagram that shows what it is. It would be great to have an engine diagram in general beause I need one for when I was the engine in order to know all the stuff I'm supposed to cover.

I just don't know much about engines and cars I'm lost.

Thanks for any help identifying the fluid container and/or pointed out where to find an engine diagram. :D

apmilano,

Welcome to the group. You will find, as I have, that there really are no dumb questions here. The group is very helpful and can and will offer assistance when it is available.

What you are describing is most likely the coolant tank. Do a search for those terms and you will find some pics in a DIY. Be careful with what you add to the tank as it is fluid specific as I have read on this forum. ie: do not mix coolant types.

Welcome aboard. That should be covered in the owner’s manual, but here is a link to a parts catalog. You will need to setup an account.
