Did that all seem good. if I spray water on the crank pully the noise goes away that sounds like marbles

Noise is definitely on the belt somewhere maybe from the power steering or contamination from anti freeze. it won't let me upload the vid

This is the sound recorded near alternator with hatch open ie: loud rattling clacking noise.loosened the belt noise goes away.its a new Porsche water pump and belt

I did that once or twice. I have a clicking rattle sound from the water pump area. Could that be an idler pulley it was a little loose but seemed quiet?

Can the thermostat rattle when car is idleing and hot is it normal or air bubble. Obviously just replaced coolant tank and pump not in that order and used vac fill and purge method. Thanks

A Coolant bottle leaking in trunk problem leads to coolant loss and trapped air.

I disconnected the oil tube in two places but could reach in to put it back i had trouble with the final hose to the bottom white part of the tank getting it home but used a screw clamp with a universal and extension to tighten it hopefully no future leaks.

Is it obvious if it's stuck open because i didnt notice anything when i the canister off on my car

Ok I'm ready to install but how to get the oil tube on and clamps hoses etc. Very short hoses not a quick fun job.

I'm I better off with the original spring steel clamps?

Yeah the harbor freight ones are zinc plated 5.99 kit it's hard to find European style anything here

Got it out finally hope It goes in easier. thinking of changing over to screw type clamps from harbor freight

hey i just replaced my pump then noticed leaking near my rear wheel turned out coolant was puddled in the trunk. I am having trouble getting to the clamps on the 4 hoses on the engine side of the bottle i can just pull it out about 3/4 of an inch and can see some of the engine side clamps from the trunk. Any advise getting it to pull out more or accessing the bottom right hose that goes to the white part of the bottle.

Ive got the cable clamp plyer thanks Peter

Update>my small compressor worked great set at 90psi. But i dont think i had any air when i pulled the vac it filled up to top and i couldnt add any. if i top it off it just leaks out the overflow anyway when the engine is warm it goes into the normal operating range.when cold its maybe allitle below the lower mark.

when you draw down the vacuum on say a boxster s would a small compessor 3 gal compressor be fine would it need to be running or just charged.

Is there a proceedure or steps for the boxster anywhere? thanks Im considering a purchase of an airlift 2 economy.

they are perelli p zero rosso 17 in and should be replaced soon I've read they should be directione perelli but ?avail.

changed the belt today the pump pully was tight but there is a clay like stuff splatered around between the pully and housing.

Im having troubles with my alignment had it done twice after the axel boot job the front end likes to go back anf forth now my front tires are old and worn but still good. I find neg toe in front is better but its not fac spec now nothing works fin crap.

torque wrench its the tightening that has to be right.

I have a new cap its blue i think. Could the bolts be loosend up it must be the shaft is loose i also got a squeek on startup thats gone now.

I replaced my water pump a couple years ago with a Laso brand $250. Now im getting regular coolant loss like half the min to max mark i dont put on a lot of miles, i can smell it and im getting a couple of drips from the pump area. I wonder do i have a bad pump again.

A couple of times i found my boxster unlocked on occation the car will lock itself as normal but lately it has not been locking itself. If i lock it with the fob its locked the other day it locked itself then stopped any ideas all the doors seem closed. Thanks

i got it pulled out but it wasnt easy finally used a jack handle i hope it goes back easier..

I noticed that two of my boot kits did not come with the small clamps is this right i had small clamps on the ones i took off. thanks all and happy new year.

Help, anyone know how to clear the ball heads of the axel control strut when removing the axel shafts im stuck. I have them released and free but i cant get clearance to pull out the wheel carrier away from the stud I have a boxster s and the control arm wont drop down enough. Thanks.

How do you clean the outside joint if it doesnt come apart anyone can you mix old grease with new?

(looks like im haveing trouble posting.)

If im just replacing the boots am i sliding them on from the transmission side or removing the axels for the easiest diy. Im getting two ways from the internet. Seems very invoved either way.
