IZZY: I'll feel a lot better if by my example I can help save someone else's car. I had tossed the idea of buying a good halon extinguisher back and forth, and decided that I just didn't want to spend over $100 for an extinguisher. I'm so sorry now that I didn't make that small investment when I've spent over $6,000 in various mods for the car....then cheaped out on a good Halon extinguisher that could have saved me. That doesn't make any sense does it?
My new car WILL have an extinguisher in it. I'll probably go to a 996 twin turbo X50.....they're really coming down in price and they're looking like an attractive buy.
sorry for your loss chuck, i know very well how you felt watching this beautiful car burn, i had a 1970 lime green challenger, showroom mint all matching burn because of electrical, i could never replace this car, i also carry the halon extinguisher in all my vehicles, my 99 996 also has the burn smell near the radio area. i wonder if this is a design flaw

instead of loosening the fuel lines, jus slide the reservoir from the reservoir support holder, then remove the support holder. this will give you a lot more room to get the reservoir out
What's your mileage?
in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)

i have a 99 996/cabrio, 75,000 miles. i have done all my own maintenance on this car, replaced clutch at 60,000 miles, was not needed yet, replaced plugs 2 x, brakes & rotors 2 x, & all normal maintenance. i have had no problems with this engine other than burning up a couple of coils. i keep seeing post about only getting 100,000 miles on these engines, i find that hard to believe. you can get 200,000, 250,000 miles on any engine if taken care of, sure things wear out as they are suppose to. all it takes is common sense & paitence & you can fix almost anything. this car is a daily driver & runs perfect.
