pocketscience Posted 23June, 2021 Report Share Posted 23June, 2021 Pulled out the CCU from my 993 to try and cure an increasingly noisy fan. Fan was unsurprisingly filthy after 26 years - but a quick clean and some new lube on the fan spindle and it's good as new. 20 minutes well spent. tomo, P-Kay, SteveF and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both fully original, matching numbers, UK delivered and all options intact from factory (checked with Porsche) except the stereo. Will need little bit of TLC, but nothing too major or unknown, especially at the price I got them for. I love the Ying - Yang/ Angel - Devil/ Skywalker - Vader combo of both white and black cars. They certainly got the attention on the way back. Not surprisingly, the Black one attracted more attention given the mad lipstick red interior and just overall bada$$ looks!

We even got an Insurance exception to cover the younger one when she was under 25 when she shared the drive from Sydney back to Tas with my wife when they collected our 996.2C2 that we bought a few years ago, proper girls trip 🙂 DJM and sjm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had to reach across and correct the trajectory a couple of times to avoid veering into the gravel shoulder…..😬. when my wife said “I haven’t even been it it yet”, that was the green light to take her in the GT3 for a run down to Flinders for lunch yesterday. I managed to sneak in a full beans 9000rpm squirt, only to around the speed limit but she did NOT appreciate it 😂.

pocketscience Posted 30June, 2021 Report Share Posted 30June, 2021 The instruments in my '70 are fogged to hell. Today I started fixing that. Pulling gauges apart is a royal PITA, but having to remove the steering wheel so I can remove the steering column cover so I can remove the tach is completely uncalled for Porsche! Still, the end result is pleasing - 3 gauges to go tomorrow.. What else am I gonna do...? Oh I polished the exhaust tips on my 993 yesterday... 🤣 Oh if anyone has a functional early clock (or even a VDO quartz one) drop me a PM please!

TwoHeadsTas Posted 2July, 2021 Report Share Posted 2July, 2021 Picked up my GT3 today after new clutch install. Amazing difference!!!! Really easy to drive, my wife will enjoy driving it now (steering and clutch fixed, win!!) 🙂 . Engine / Transmission out, so sorted out ancillaries at the same time - new Coolant expansion tank (in stock, didn't get around to installing in my 996.2C2), new plugs and plug packs (latest V5 ), new serpentine belt, water pump, complete cooling system flush and cup thermostat. As well as clutch plate, master & slave cylinders and pressure plate ended up with new single mass flywheel (gulp!!) and clutch fork & spigot bearings. Surprising find was funny wear pattern on clutch matching the dished flywheel and strange wear marks on the fork, all contributing to the excessively heavy clutch pedal previously. Makes me wonder whether the apprentices at PCM may have worked on it through the last 18 years rather than the master technician????? The water pump and thermostat had been re-installed with silastic, wondering how much the excess squeezed inside had been contributing to the slight cooling issues I was experiencing.... Anyway, very expensive effort, but I think well worth it for the new driving pleasure, and the fact that there's probably not much else that will need doing apart from servicing for the next few years. Will be anxious to try it out at a track day to see how much difference an easy gear change will make...... tomo, GTP911, Stephen Tinker and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eden Posted 23July, 2021 Report Share Posted 23July, 2021 Some muppet (me) managed to pull out a vacuum line while trying to troubleshoot a slow warmup issue. What an absolute pain to fix!

TwoHeadsTas Posted 1August, 2021 Report Share Posted 1August, 2021 Windscreen Washers - 996.1 Washers not working, pulled apart today, plenty of water getting to the washer mechanism, nothing coming out. There appears to be a 12v feed to the washer nozzle (part no. 996.628.077.01). Anyone know what this does? hard to tell if there's a blockage in the nozzle of whether there's a failure in the 12v part. Anyone know what the 12v function is? Is there an actuator to open the actual nozzle aperture ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering whether it was some sort of actuator to keep the nozzle closed to keep muck out of it, but I checked and there was 12v as soon as ignition turned on.

The painful thing is that I recently sold the whole scuttle panel with washers still intact from a 986 I've been parting out, just wish I'd gone to the effort to remove them first, would have been good spares 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
