One thing you'll learn soon, and it does indeed suck, is that with Porsches, sometimes skimping on price is a bad thing. There are a couple cases where other than OEM tends to fail sooner... (and sometimes where OEM fails sooner....) it's tough to figure it out. in my experiences if I go for the significantly cheaper, it bites me in the ***. I generally use OEM parts, purchased from the dealer (thank god I have a hookup... the parts lady I use, I text message my orders to...LOL.)

if Anything, I'd go for the FAE of the 2 you posted... but I know nothing of either company. I think Porsche uses Bosch... But then again, I just checked with Pelican parts, and they sell FAE.

 

ok ill go for the FAE, I dont mind paying less or more

 

damn i cant find that oil pressure unit, where is it located in the engine bay ?

thanks

 

It's on the underside, directly above and behind the power steering pump on the passenger side of the vehicle. It's near the oil filter, on bottom.

 

ok thank you

 

daaaaamn this is a total mess out there, the p/s pump and around is completely convered with motor oil or p/s fluid... i found out that oil pressure unit and it covered of fluid too... the wires seem to be ****ty.. i'll take a pic of this mess i dont know what I should do with that...

ill disconect de neg on my battry an try to clean these wire a bit to see what will happen...

 

I think the leak comes from a several loose of the hose that is connected to the p/s (the one with 1" of diameter)

but for the wires, im totally lost, what should I do with that

 

there was one wire disconnected, the one with the bigger terminal, (probably the positive) I cleaned it and recconcted everything, now what ? the warning light stays open all the time and the oil guauge light is open too and the gauge is at the maxium (after 5), PLUS the brake fluid light just pop out of nowhere like that... that is great, I think I will need to buy a new oil pressure sender...

 

okee dokee everything is fine i just clean the wires twice and everything work properly and the brake fluid light was on because the front of the car was raised

 

So everything seems to be solved now, eh?

 

yep, exept the p/s thing... i think the hose is tottaly worn, and i just checked the p/s fluid level and it seems to be low, do I have to bleed the whole reservoir or I can add some more fluid... ?

the hose i'm talking about is the one you see on the pic with a bit of green fluid on it

 

you can just add some unless it's completely out of the reservoir. these cars are notorious for power steering leaks. just carry a can with ya. Also, it's probably coverd with all that crap because of the convenient location and orientation that Porsche put the oil filter... upside down over a bunch of things.

 

yup I saw that hehe. At least the car is working properly, i'm just gonna add some ATM fluid and wait for the oil/air/fuel filter... ill put mobil 1 15W50 in it... the car should be ready thursday or friday, im so pissed to drive my 94 mazda protege hehe

 

Yeah... 944>Mazda protoge. so much more fun to drive, even though it's probably slower.

 

sometimes, people put power steering fluid in it Yep; thanks to Rennlist, I now use the "hulk" method for oil changes, didn't spill a drop

(basically, hold a plastic shopping bag under the oil filter, tight up around and below the base, when removing)
