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.

Castrol Super Clean is really strong stuff, if you let your hands soak it, the skin is going to peel off the next day.
In a friendly way... If you are serious about keeping a 914, you'd better get your sleeves up and get to work. The car is very simple so it's also simple to fix, just like computers except dirtyer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) The more time will pass, the harder it will be to find a good mechanic to work on your car because the old ones like the Capt'n will eventually retire and the new ones won't know what to do if you can't plug a computer on to a car! As for your problem, you've got a great writeup from dmenche914, I've done it with the engine out of the car it's much easier, but if Mike says it's doable with the engine in place then it is, the key is to get the tubes to slip in and not cut the seals. Oh and put tires under the car for extra safety, never trust jackstands alone, and block the front wheels! |
