I have noticed that with picture threads, once Bill Verburg and Pong and the other Ruf lister post their pics, the game is usually over...

just a question, the Mobil 1 sticker, why some engines have it and other not? This is a owner choice?

My 95 doesn't have the sticker, but my 97 does. The 95's sticker is on the engine bay sheet metal area by the latch. It's a different sticker & smaller.

I just cleaned up the 95 C4 this week, after a couple of fun long tours.

It depends on what the factory oil fill was at the time of manufacture. My 1996
Carrera 4 (U.S. model) had Shell Oil as a factory fill. The underside of my
engine lid has a Shell decal. Later models had Mobil 1 as a factory fill so they
got the Mobil 1 decal. Others may have a better idea of when the change over
took place.

Question - I am thinking of cleaning the Fan itself.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Products and application advice appreciated!.

Thanks

Phil

Stealth993 looks like he knows how to clean the engine compartment, judging from the pictures above - WOW!
