I pay over $600 at the "Porsche" place to get them replaced...perfect. I take them to the VW guy to get them replaced, $20 labor and parts and nada....i know the guy is cheap, this is why "I"want to do them myself. Somebody PLEASE tell me how to clean the ports up (where the seals go) cause the VW guy says that's what is needed and he can't do them real well.

I'm referring to body paint in the engine compartment. Castrol Super-Clean is said by many to be something that you do not want to use on painted surfaces because it will harm the paint. I've used it successfully on the paint in the engine compartment as well as the underside of the trunk (above the transmission) and because I did not leave it on too long before rinsing it did not harm the paint at all. I've found the paint on engine parts tends to be pretty tough so that you don't need to worry about it like you would about body paint. I've also used Super-Clean on engine tin that I was intending to repaint as part of an overhaul and I found it to be one of the best cleaners around for prepping the tin for painting. The Super-Clean helped me get the tin ready for painting, but was not the cause of needing to paint the tin. |
