just had a leakdown test down. car has 46k. midwest eurosport in bensenville (chicago) did the test. as always any thoughts would be appreciated.

cylinder 1: 5%
cylinder 2: 3%
cylinder 3: 4%
cylinder 4: 3%
cylinder 5: 2%
cylinder 6: 3%

 

results look good. enjoy.

 

i agree .... it looks good. how much are they asking for the car?

 

I just had a leak down test on my car (15K miles). All cylinders were between 1.5 & 2 %.

 

Wisdom seems that 5% and under is well within tolerances on these cars. 34K on mine and range was 3 to 5%

 

i just had a leakdown on a 993 turbo..it was done cold instead of hot which apparently skews the results, car has 28k miles. Results were 16%, 16%,17%,16%,16%,17%....i asked a porsche specialist and they said not to be concerned with the outright numbers given it was a cold leakdown but instead to focus on the % differences and 1% diff was very good. Any thgts on that view given the individual cylinders read so high or is that what you'd expect from cold vs hot leakdown?

 

Drivelikeyoustoleit> you have some good leakdown numbers..


Shrek, you have horrid numbers.. Most likely you are looking at a topend overhaul. With that much loss you will have turbocharger leakage issues from the possible blowbye. You cannot do a leakdown HOT on these engines.. Most are done cold..

 

What is the average cost of top end overhaul for 993 TTs. Sorry if this may have been discussed before but I would like to know the numbers before I jump into the aircool TT world. Thanks.

 

Here's an old discussion on this:

Anywhere from about $6k to $xx,xxxx depending on what needs to be done.

 

$10-15k
