Recently I replaced all the vacuum actuators on my Varioram 993. After close inspection I noticed that all but one were still functioning. The torn and leaking one was the one that actuates a flap on the engine compartment cabin heater duct. I suspect this is because it cycles quite a bit more than the others. If one has not replaced it yet , consider it as if it has not been replaced yet it is most likely faild or will fail shortly. When it fails the power of the engine is diminished and in my case no OBD Code was thrown.
The part is $60 and is a no- brainer easy install. Likely there is a similar one on the nonvarioram intake cars too. Andy

 

Heidi ^^ Since you're in the UK:
pick up the current Total 911 Magazine issue #135 on Britain's newsstands: features a 993 Speedster
...&/or visit Warrington's Ninemeister to get details in person!

A picture's worth a 1,000 words: click here for a time-lapse photo of the 'clamshell.'

The "Speedster type 993 photo thread" has more info on the cover, roof, windshield, door glass, etc.

I like pictures showing different models / colours so you can see the differences and contrast. Reminded me of this one of my targa from a couple of years ago - people say models after the 993 are oversized - I think this demonstrates it!

 

 

At an NNJR PCA event last weekend...

 

My first Porsche love, and my new (to me) 993!

 

 

^^ love that floor!!^^

 

I couldn't find a video thread in the 993 section, so thought this was the best place. Some nice machinery in action (993 RS and GT2). It's in Japanese, but fun to watch given the value of these cars today.

 

Why should those 964 folk's have all the fun?
