i didnt find it until yesterday when i had already got teh cone just for the hell of it.. how much of a problem am i looking at here though..

 

Thats a hard question, was the car running properly? Do you have any idea this could have been left this way...? I can only hope too much crap and sand crap didnt get in there..

I would think changing the oil would be the best thing to do before cranking over that engine, if its been driven like that.

it seemed to run fine for me, the month or so i drove it since I got it.. I know i know, i should've checked this first thing.. but you know the, young kid, first porsche, having fun syndrome.

 

At speed the under hood temperature is at or very near the ambiant air temp outside the engine compartment.

And if you don't believe me, check with George (Geo):

Ugh!

Hope it wasn't off the car for too long. . . and it wasn't too dirty / dusty where you are. I still think the cones are a complete waste of $$$, but that's just me - do what you want.

 

Don't blame yourself, i didnt even know where my cars air filter was for atleast the first year. Now i am having trouble finding the stupid cover to my airbox that i took off...

Hope it works out for you! And as someone said hopefully not too dusty!

Porsche has a tech bulletin about the snorkel coming from the timing belt case. There is a cap and clamp that is at the Porsche dealer for the fix. If some of you have the PET or parts reference catalog, I believe it may be Bulletin #5 in the 924/928/944 book.

Its a vent for the timing cover, I have a small k/n breather on it from the PO. Ill see if i can scrounge up a picture,...-chris

 

Breather pic...

 

know where i can get a breather like that? any sites online? thanks. hey fty, howd you mount the cone there? looks like you just have something sticking in teh front of the cone? or does it ogo back ot the afm?

 

Its a piece of aluminum thats bolted to the frame and that lifts the Filter off the alternator.

 

Bolts right to the frame of the filter? did you screw into the filter housing? sorry, just looks liek the easiest solution.

 

looks nice fty. i think i might do the same

 

breather = rice

 

breather equals rice? howso? i assume your talking about the timing cover breather, right?or are you talking about the cone air filter. im confused.
