Post Oil filler upgrade for pre June 1996 Turbo

Someone once mentioned that they have trouble pouring oil into their 993tt because the oil fitler tube extension is short.

There is an warranty update from Porsche regarding this issue.

Porsche started to install a longer oil fill pipe bellow starting June, 1996 production 993 tts.

The part number for the longer bellow is 993 207 363 50, the warranty claim code the dealer can use for this update claim is:
Damange code=1715 10 0002, labor operation=1715 1900 R & R oil filler pipe, T.U.=30

Thanks Robin, I had this problem the other day, trying to put oil in the car with the big intercooler on...not an easy task!

My mechanic took off the intercooler shroud to make it a bit easier.. It takes less than 5 minutes to take on/off and makes access to the oil pipe a lot easier!

Psssst....

Go to your favorite parts store and get a long funnel. When finished, put the funnel away.

Beats the hell out of pulling the Intercooler Shroud, and much faster.
