Thank you.. -
Hello Judgejon, Thanks for the response. yep, Nothing weird, no noise. Last paragraph, the car needed a rear main seal, and clutch parts. Mechanic did not report anything related to the oil like particles in the filter. I bought the car a year ago, I have not had anything weird happend related to engine, Aside from replacing above parts and expansion bottle. May think about doing the oil check see what comes back. Thank you, Daniel Rodriguez

Good evening, Everyone So, I had an oil leak that I thought was related to a replaced rear main seal. Took it to the shop and it was diagnose as a oil pan leak, which was fix. When picking out the car the mechanic showed me some metal pieces that were in the oil pan. They had no idea where from and suggested could have been the from years back. I have no records of the car or any repair Aside from a car fax, I do have records of IMS being replaced when car had around 55k .. back in 2016. The car has 83k miles now, does not smoke and no oil used, no knocking sounds. Any ideas where this is from? To me these are big metal pieces that should never been there. Additionally, the same shop replaced rear main, Clutch, pressure Plate, oil and coolant 2+ months ago and had not had any issues nor found any particles in oil filter. Thanks Daniel Rodriguez

Hello JFP Thank you for feedback. Hopefully after I fix it, it will hold vacuum. Daniel Rodriguez

Good afternoon, RFM That sound good, I will into that and get the metal seal. I do have that vacuum system, and now wonder if this would cause a vacuum leak, as the last time I replaced the water reservoir it was very difficult ( more like impossible) to keep a vacuum. @JFP in PA I will get under car and add some pictures. When I do the job, I may as well add pictures from that. Thank you much, Daniel Rodriguez

Good afternoon, I checked the area and up from it, although the oil cooler is up from there, I did not see anything with green Mark or wet fue that matter. Do you know what piece is in the picture? Looking closer it almost looks like there are 2 pieces that it's leaking from there. Thanks, Daniel
-
Good evening, JFP That sounds like a plan for me to follow. Will check tomorrow. Thank you, Daniel Rodriguez

Good evening Was checking the car and noticed a small drop of coolant under the engine passenger side. I am not sure what is in this section, but really hope could be something I could fix. I am attaching picture. Thank you for you feedback. Daniel Rodriguez

Hello JFP, Wow, noted on bouncing and tank, will see about getting real one. Daniel

Hello Everyone, Yesterday I tried to use my new Uview setup, but had a weirdvthing happening. First of all, Inonly empty the reservoir. The Vacuum gauge would got to green section but then return to middle red area, bouncing up/down. As if a valve was openned and that was it, was only able to drained 1/2 gallon or so. As per my previous message, I think the burp system is not working properly. I have sent messages to FCPEuro for feedback. Thank you Daniel not able to hold vacuum-goes to Green then drops.mp4 2-burper leaking-bottom-when valve is open.mp4

I am also following up with tank seller, I think the burp bleeder may not be working properly since it looked like when I opened the valve, the coolant seemed to be coming from the bottom of that adapter. Thanks Daniel
-
Hello, Everyone I just received the Uview Airlift from Amazon. Looks fairly easy to use. Hoping my little compressor can do the job. Will let you all know and post a picture or two. Thank you Daniel
-
Great, thank you @Loren Will check out videos on this process. I found a similar Cooling System Test and Refill Kit in Harbor Freight made by Maadox. Will compare both. Thank you Daniel
-
@JFP Thank you for the feedback, let me look into this. I am assuming I need to empty the system or can I use it while coolant is in there? Thank you Daniel

Good afternoon, I tested driving a bit to get the car to 180-190 temp the light still flashing. I first tried to burp the car when setting around warning engine. I started to small coolant and when checking there was a costant drip (more like a hose was left somewhat open dripping from the side of the tank. I the metal burp lever down and stopped, Did that 2 times and both times leal. Is the burp system supposed to burp air or liquid? The Temp did not go over the 190ish range. Following notes from another post: I checked if my sensor was missing, but it is where it is supposed to be. Would the light come on if too much coolant? I noticed while hot the coolant was higher than the MAX line. Will drain some after it cool down and stays high. I have video, see attached. Thanks Daniel 20230326_135531.mp4

May not be related. But after reading other posts, I used the Black cap that came with new tank, Should I kept the old Blue cap?

Oops, I have 1999 Carrera 4.

Good evening, Everyone Today I replaced the cooling expansion tank because It was leaking. Wow.. took me too long to do. After putting all together, I turned the car ON a bit to make sure everything ok and I noticed a blinking red light (slow blinking) next to the Temp gauge. The light stay ON after idle for few minutes. Is it possible the Temp sensor broke when I swap it? The coolant level looks good.. Thank you Daniel

Good afternoon Everyone.. I ende up purchasing the tires. Will Provide feedback after a few miles of use. Thank you, Daniel Rodriguez

Hello JFP Thank youfor your feedback. I think those are the previous model Costco has RE980AS+. Let me see if there is a review on those. Thank you, Daniel

Good afternoon,everyone I need to get new tires for my 996. Was looking around at Costco and they have the POTENZA RE980AS+ with discount. I am not finding these tires in the forum. Does anyone of you have used these tires? According to Costco mechanic they install these in sports cars , plus I see they have some mile warranty. Thank you, Daniel Rodriguez
