Not sure. When I do it, I disconnect it at the engine. Its easy to reach, once the engine is lowered about 2".
Thanks Rob ... yes I got the idea from one of your old posts (Garret e.d. diy or ricardo's engine drop picture thread I think)
.. once you work out how the little black plastic end (that holds the acc cable end bar) works and remove it, the cable slides easily through the support bracket grommet beneath the throttle body .. so that seems much simpler than the complications behind the pedal board.
Hi guys
A little knowledge needed please...
i've just got this s/h (quite old but in good condition) Sports cat from a friend and I can't find anything online about it. I believe it was in a race 964.
He said he's not sure whether it's 100 or 200 cell?, all this is little beyond me but it's now fitted and with my cup pipe I think it sounds great.
Anyone recognise this brand or know anything from the details engraved?? It says Part No. KAT C2 and I think 18/04 or 18704
Your help / info would be appreciated... Thanks!
Mike
Not sure but that appears to be the cat from the turbo of a 964T. I would need a larger picture. To be sure

Any insights appreciated!
It is recommended so not too break the cable the black plastic adjustment piece can get damaged while dropping the engine.
I went to install an air con belt on my 1990 C4 and the new after market belt wouldn't fit. It doesn't appear to be long enough. It's 13mm x 1075mm. The Porsche one is 12.5mm x 1080mm.
Has anyone had the same issue or alternatively can tell me the correct technique? I have the air con compressor bolts loose and can push the compressor as far as the fan housing but it's not enough.

The belt I have on my car is 1076. So that belt should work. Take the adjuster screw out to the end. And then unbolt the ac compressor if you need. Put the belt on and get it far enough to get the bolts back in...

I have a spare Continental 964/993 A/C belt here and the sizes are 13mm x 1085 which might explain why you are finding a smaller belt diffcult to fit.

For pre-MY92 the belt length was 1080mm and MY93-98 it is 1085mm.

Thanks, lots of alternator belt DIYs out there, but little on the air con belts. I 'assumed' that if the compressor could move fully towards the fan housing that would be enough.
Crappy screen shot from a video. Engine is idling, pressure seems good and engine is cold judging by the gauge. BUT... shouldn't the oil level gauge in the red box be pointing to a higher level?

With the engine warm, idling for at least a minute on a level surface, yes then the oil level gauge should be horizontal. My guess is that this picture has a cold engine and perhaps its oil level is low too.
