szeater Posted 8November, 2022 Report Share Posted 8November, 2022 Hi all, Recently got my hands on a lovely example of a 996TT, but it seems to have started leaking hydraulic fluid from the rear wing assembly. It's nothing catastrophic at this stage; the left hand side doesn't go up quite as high as the right. I've already reached out to DH Automotive out in Belgium who do rebuilds of the whole system, but was wondering if anyone was aware of anyone in Australia offering a similar service? I've been quoted 725 euros (including shipping both ways) as a starting point from DH. Pic attached for attention! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin at UMW in the US has a fix ( does your car have a UWM tune? If so well played. ) and another vendor had a kit ( no need to ship yours).

Joz Posted 8November, 2022 Report Share Posted 8November, 2022 There’s a shop in Ringwood/ Melbourne that rebuilds them. SV Electrics, Steve specialises in Porsche auto electrics and does the wing rebuilds. Ofcourse there is an aftermarket electrical kit also.

The car did have a UMW tune from the previous owner(s), it's an absolute weapon. 3 hours ago, Joz said: There’s a shop in Ringwood/ Melbourne that rebuilds them.

Thanks for the pointer, I've reached out to Steve and will await his reply. I did consider going the electric option, but it's very expensive and doesn't actually carry much of a warranty. Given the factory setup has lasted 20 odd years, I'm happy to just rebuild it (DH apparently uprate some parts/seals as well) and it should go strong for a long while yet.

Just a view but compared to other examples with less km's and much more $ on asking, they are like point and shooting a slug gun vs a high powered rifle bolt action shotgun. Weapon indeed.
