				Had a rattle coming from the passenger side vera the air vent 'behind' the dash somewhere - which sounded like plastic to plastic - driving me mad. 
Cured it as follows: 
1. Remove the dash end plate. 

Use a credit card to carefully prise the 'rear' end out from the dash, revealing two plastic spigots that locate it 
 
Pull the door seal away from the flange adjacent to the end plate (just makes the job easier) 
 
Pull the end plate towards you (i.e. to the rear of the car) and you will disloca

				I replaced my AOS back in late September this year, and just haven't had a chance until now to compile the DIY. 
	The car was running great and consuming an average amount of oil according to Porsche guidelines, so this was purely a preventative step.  	Although the car ran great before, it did actually feel a bit better/smoother after the AOS install (particularly at idle and in the lower rev range) 
	At the time the car had about 72k miles on the clock. 	Please excuse all the pollen &amp; dust

				I developed a severe leak in my windshield washer that was causing the tank to empty within 24 hours. The pumps appeared to be working, but i had to remove the tank to determine the cause. Turns out the internal seal of the windshield washer pump had failed and fluid was leaking out of the housing.  In the process I documented the steps needed to remove the tank for your reference in the attached PDF. This is for a 2009 997.2 Carrera Base with the headlight washers.  Hope this helps.
