Yes, where exactly is this located? Is it an easily accessible part or one that is best left to be done when the engine is dropped?

That's a good one...The only easily accessable part on a 993 is the lug nuts
But seriously, where is this part located ? From the diagram Bob posted, it looks like it's tucked under the top of the motor below the sound dampening material...

Just a few more stock goodies to your unmolested car. Any of those goodies happen to be from our buddy Glen

You should definitely have better times at SOW than Dylan this time...

See ya' at STS #6.

Thanks for the pic Kim. Is it that rusted looking piece inside of the brass-colored one that's in question? Can this be replaced w/o dropping the engine?

I was in no hurry to spend the $$$$$$$ plus haste makes waste...
I'm sure they could have done the job much quicker..

That part is on top of the engine - and I'm finding that it is a bitch to get out while the engine is just sitting in my garage out of the car. It reguires a
?mm wrench that is either skinnier or ground down and at an odd angle to boot. Since I do not have that tool yet I have not done it - I am waiting for mystery part NO.4 from the PET pic to install with it. I don't think you can get to it with the engine in.

How much did they charge you for just the part?
