I have a 99 Cabriolet that I suspect has a rear bad deck fan. Under what conditions should it operate? (whenever the engine compartment is hot, when the rear spoiler extends, etc.). How would I go about diagnosing if it is the fan, or some type of relay? Thanks

Are RMS & IMS maintenance items?

I'm in Columbus Ohio. I have an appointment in 2 weeks, but was trying to prepare myself for what it may cost. The local PCA chapter is holding a tech inspection prior to a driver's event. I can't do the DE, but I'm still taking advantage of their inspection. I may be able to scoot a camera under the car without crawling under it. Going to try that tonight. So if it is a RMS, what does that typically cost? -

Take a picture of the underside of the car where it is leaking. A spot the size of a quarter could be many things that are not RMS. I will try, but I don't really have the garage space or stands to get under the car. What about my other questions? Any input is appreciated. -

I asked some of these questions but on the wrong forum. How can I tell if it is the RMS? (I can't get it to the dealer for a few weeks) Is there a place to see pics of the underside of the car to help me figure out if it is a RMS? What is the typical cost to replace a RMS? Is there any real harm if it isn't fixed? (leaking about the size of a quarter at the moment) What else IMS, clutch, etc. should I consider having done while they are in there? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the clutch, but I read the boards. Thanks, Doug 1999 Carrera Cabriolet (Arctic Silver) 6 speed 38K miles -
So what is a reasonable price to replace a RMS? I just noticed some oil spots on the garage floor. Reading all the forums, I suspect it's a RMS. The spot is about the size of a quarter. The RMS was replaced in 2001 by the original owner. I'm not sure of the mileage at that point but I'm guessing <10K. If it is the RMS, what else should be replaced while they are in there? Could this be the result of teaching my son how to drive a stick shift and he is having the typical issues? 1999 996 Cabriolet 38K miles
