When you take it apart you'll see you have to reassemble in a particular order,. A lot of replacement pieces are small change but you would kick yourself for not doing it when it's all torn down. Yes replace all rubber coupling pieces and the tank while your in there. Personally I did everything considered a wear item to include buried sensors and fuel line. Water pump bearing was rough so even that went.
getting all the parts was the hardest part, except for the one clamp under the intake was a pain!
It looks daunting but it's really not that bad. If you do the work yourself there's nothing you won't know about on the car...I found pulling the motor and doing this fix when I first got my car was the bets thing i could do to familiarize myself with all of it's inter-workings.
Don't forget to do fuel filter while everything is out. it's 10x easier to replace when the motor is out.
996 GT3 guys, The response for the spreadsheet was crazy. Haven't been paying attention lately since there weren't many new topics, but I hope this helps.
So here is the list. I will note that you will want to check the part numbers against pet to confirm, I got some plastic clips that were wrong, and a hose that did not have the branch for the trans cooler. The dealer Double checked my numbers and we still got some wrong.
I buy alot of parts so my local Porche dealer "Motorwerks" in Barrrington, IL, they gave me 10% off and hooked me up when they made mistakes.
I broke it all the way down and the net cost versus online, it was a wash with expensive parts less, while cheap stuff was a bit more.
Getting the fuel injector o-rings, Intake boots took a long time since they kept sending the wrong parts or not enough of them.
Take an Inventory when you get lots of parts as Porsche sends package quantities or pulls from larger bags of parts, there were quite a few extra o-rings and mis-packaged o-rings. Its obvious though when they are wrong.
I have the list with pricing PM for that.
Maxjax made this super easy, and Andy was nice enough to provide insight.
Yes most of the rubber was tough and not very pliable, you could see where there was going to be issue's in the future.
Don't forget O-ring lube and sealant for under the heat exchanger.
I spent quite a while at my OPC on Friday. I have ordered most of the hoses that are in or about the cooling system and a header tank with a cap. My plastic inlet tube in the inlet manifold was cracked so I have one of those too.
Next week ill have the coolant pump housing hose fittings removed, knurled, fresh bonding and pinned. I just dont like the weld option.
The sound deadening above the engine is scorched so I have a new one of those coming too.
My parts bill was about $1000 and I am sure there is more to come
One good bit of news was that the 996.1 coolant tank was £400 and the 996.2 was £100. Ill do the fuel filter at the same time.
My car is in fairly good condition but its no California car thats for sure. Im so jealous of the climate you guys must have as anything carbon steel based or alloy gets pretty shabby over here :-(
