  1.  

    Dealers charge 20 hours total for removal and installation. But it can be done in less than 16 hours. I would like to know exactly what sensor, related to your problem, need the engine removed….There are one other option for you, the installation of a GT3 dipstick….

    This is really useful! Do you know if I can literally just buy the indicated parts and have them fitted? Are they difficult to fit? Many tanks.

     

    Here is a good thread on the subject of installing a dipstick!

  2. Of course I have a preference…Ultimate Motor Werks! I am far away from being a person who knows a lot about modified TT's but I am more than happy about UMW tune and also about after sale service. Kevin is really one of the best out there….http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/996-turbo-forum/810206-2014-ultimate-motorwerks-spring-tuning-special.htmlhttp://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/996-turbo-forum/810206-2014-ultimate-motorwerks-spring-tuning-special.html

  3. Pentosin, Take a look at your clutch reservoir in front under the hood. May be it is overfilled . If it is your slave is at fault. If the leak comes from the middle of the car it can also be the slave or the accumulator that is becoming loose on the slave…Saw both cases ….

  4. I got my front bumper cover off for painting. The cover was painted and repaired (nick and scratches) but wrong color match. Not exactly dead on...I would like to remove a part from the car to take it to a second paint supplier for a better color match. Which part is easiest to remove. I was thinking about the fuel access cover, never remove it before…Is it easy? Or may be mirror cover?…The spoiler can also be remove but can be damage while handling… Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciate, Thanks! J.P.

  5. The noise is probably from the fact you had low level in the steering reservoir. The pressure being a lot higher coming from the steering pump , it migrate to the clutch system through a weak slave part. Some say a worn seal and some are talking about a weak check valve….. GT2 better??? Hum, I cannot answer, there are some pro and con out there ;-) I still got the slave on my car. But many post on the subject on Rennlist and 6speed: Happy reading!

  6. The front reservoir is for the clutch and if it is overfilled it is due to a faulty clutch slave actuator.

    The clutch system used the power steering system pressure to help you depress the clutch pedal. If the slave is faulty there is a migration of fluid between the steering and clutch system. If you look at the steering reservoir which is the engine compartment you will found the reservoir level low…. For now you can always remove this extra fluid and refill the steering reservoir. I did this for a couple of months before replacing the slave and accumulator at the same time

    The slave part# is : 99611623752 and it is about $352.00 and the accumulator : 99731416600 $114.00 and it takes about 3 hours to replace those parts….

    ​Of course there is a third possibility to fix this problem forever: The GT2 system, many threads about this subject...

  7. Take a picture of the area of the leak…Give yourself some more time, because you don't drive your car often, to evaluate since you had an overspill while refilling the reservoir. I'm pretty sure it is related….

  8. Front bumper cover removal, radiators clean-up and radiator replacement...


    The front bumper cover removal is really easy and give you access for a good cleanup of your radiators. I had to remove the left radiator and the fan at the same time. So here is the process….Hope this will help anyone... Toll needed: Philips screwdriver #2 Torx screwdriver 030 Tork screwdriver 025 Socket 13 and 16mm To do a good clean-up of the front radiator… (Pop rivet gun + six 1/8 diameter pop rivets 3/8 inch long) +++ Cover removal: Take out both side markers.

  9. I have used the rebuild option mentioned above from Cabriolet Hydraulics in Fl. Works great and has been about 4 months or so with no issues. Company is great and best customer service I have experienced. Highly recommended and comes with a good warranty as well. Just my $.02

    Thanks for the feedback. You are the second person who left a comment about them and both are positive!!! Glad to know!
