Copy. Mine only has the hand pump. I am not sure if I'd want to mix gear lube and brake fluid though. Hard to fully clean out.

Like I said, they’re totally different tools. They don’t do the same things and you won’t be using them for the same things. So there’s no chance of mixing gear oil with brake fluid

Ah, makes sense now. Thanks.

Whenever I work on the car I replace any missing or damaged hardware that I find. At this point all the hardware should be there and like new
...and spare turbocharger drain crush washers, which I haven't managed to get to you yet.

Finally got around to changing out the voltage regulator. Next thing on the list, LCAs.

Replaced the fuel vent valve as well as the fuel door acutator. For something seemingly so simple was a PIA and took WAY longer than planned.

Also realized that the bottom mounting post of the charcoal cansiter at some point had broken off and looked like the "master tech" tried gluing it back on, which left a hole in the canister. Might that have been the reason for the Evap code I would get every once and a while and not the valve?

Anyone have charcoal canister?

And another thing, while in there, noticed both strut mounts were shot.

Anyone have a set of coilovers?

I do. I have the whole emission system from a 40k mileage car.

I had put Ceikas on my C4s, they weren’t bad at all.

Seeing all these great posts makes me miss my 2005 Turbo S 996. Might have to find another soon.
