Default picture of oil line routing in wheel arch?

Having pulled my oil cooler and tank for some TLC, I have successfully reinstalled both, but the oil line routing within the wheel arch doesn't look or feel right. I think between the two large lines, the dipstick tube, and the smaller breather hose - I'm crisscrossed. I am requesting a picture or series of pictures that you may have on file that shows the layout that works best.

Cheers,

Peter

It doesn't. If you were to take a 3.6 liter apart, get rid of all the same parts and replace with new, and then reinstall and do the same run-in and testing, you'd have a 3.6 liter motor than runs really well and cost approx the same. It's just a lot of time and parts cost to build a new motor.

Relative to building a racing motor, building a street 3.8 seems very inexpensive, relative to what I have seen on rennlist...

i took this picture prior to disassembling my C4. I thought it would make it easier installing the lines later. It is a royal PITA to get right.

What is the sensor that I have pointed to with the red arrow?
It is located on the LHS of the engine bay, behind the heater blower.
(Not the O2 sensor).

Default T-Lock Fob Battery

Have a keyless entry from Tore. Started getting flaky and finally went kaput. Checked the wife's fob, which worked brilliantly. Lack of use, I suppose. New batteries for mine are in order.

Q: battery size for t-lock key fob
A: two 2016 batteries

Mine did the same. Thanks for detailing the battery size as I haven't opened the flaky remote yet.

Poli84. I don't have that plug in my car so I guess it is for the cruise control or for the tiptronic tranny. Do you have any of those two in in your car?

It isn't a sensor it is a connector. The end with the white stripe should go to the wiring harness and the other end to the cruise control unit.

Thanks guys.
Yeah I have cruise so that makes sense. Problem solved and I can not worry that it was unplugged for a little while.

I have a silly little question. My 1971 911T Targa in Olive is currently being restored and I have ordered new lenses front and rear. The bezel is a "Pop Metal" and in very good shape except the reflective area around the bulbs. I could blast everything and spray paint it, but I'm pretty sure they should be more reflective inside. I am looking into hydrographics putting a chrome look. Any suggestions?

If I have posted to the wrong thread, I'm sorry. Please redirect me

judging by your 6-3 avatar and your question re a 911T ...
you're not in the wrong thread ... you're on the wrong forum all together
ie goto forum / aircooled / 911 (ie 2 above 964 where you are now)

You are on the wrong forum but I can help.

I think you mean "pot metal" die cast zink. Those parts were plated with a reflective surface. if you blast it you will eat into the smooth surface. Painting it won't be the same I would look into a platter like http://qualitymetalfinishing.net/ and see what they can do for you I know they do early parts for a friend of mine who restores early long nose cars.
