    Just buy OEM Porsche pads at Sunset. Fronts are about $328 and rears are $358. They are not that much more than standard pads, $213 and $151 respectively.

    Jeff, how should this cost? Indy cost?? Dealership charges??? Thanks.
  3. White987S
    No. Just do it "right" the next time. Don't fret about it. Most people do it "wrong".
  4. White987S
    Jeff, what do you recommend then, as a regiment, for the DFI Porsche engines? Thanks.
  5. White987S
    GREAT POST! Thanks, JFP. I've done it this way for the past 7 years with the 987S. Rock solid.

    This is what my Boxster's report looked like for the manual trans gear fluid change a couple years ago.: Boxster Trans Fluid Fall 2011 Forum.pdf

    Flip, one tip. Loosen the FILL plugs first. To make sure you can re-fill the system. Don't want to have the tranny drained, only to find out you can't break the fill plugs lose. OK, second tip, for free! LOL. You can send your drained trans fluid sample out for a Blackstone UOA.....if you're into that data collection.

    Sounds like your rotors are warped. With your cross drilled rotors, look for checks/cracks that are at or very near the rotor's outer edges. Time to replace.

    I use the Techron product every year prior to an oil change.

    Those are the 20" Carrera Classics ($2,730).

    Well done AP 997S!!!!! The new Caymans are S T U N N I N G !!!!!!!!
  12. White987S
    Hey, poop happens, and we know little how you drove & maintained the car. Regardless, sorry this happened to you.

    Blackstone does good work. I've been using them for about 7 years. Your report is soooooooo good because your 1,800 miles is probably about 1/2 of the miles they use for the Universal Averages. What 5W40 Mobil are you using? Turbo Deisel?? That's a good oil because of the higher zinc and phosphorus levels vs 0W40. Keep using it or go to the Joe Gibbs DT40 5W40. And keep doing your UOA's. One report (even a good one) won't tell you much. You need more reports and data. Buy in bulk from Blackstone. If you buy in bulk of 6 tests......that average out to about $19 each.

    I need to make sure our Tech Team for our local PCA is making this torque change during tech inspection for DE's.
  15. White987S
    Why? After 8 driving seasons and +56,000 miles I've never cleaned mine. Are you running a non OEM air filter?? Do you have CEL's???
  16. White987S
    Same torque wrench? All 6 plugs?? Did you use anti seize on the threads??? I say operator error.
  17. White987S
    Nice work as always, Eric!

    Sunset, and Phil Coy, have been rock solid for me for the past 8 years. He/they get all my business. Porsche OEM parts for me, only, please! :thumbup:
  19. White987S
    The only Mobil 1 product I'd put into a water cooled Porsche is 5W50. Porsche approved, and much better zinc and phosphorus levels.
  20. White987S
    Are you on the original waterpump?
  21. White987S
    Hard to answer, not knowing what is already in your system. Assuming it's a Porsche product, I'd stay with a Porsche coolant. You can also buy VW's coolant at a local dealership for less cost. Porsche's coolant is excellent, so stay with that. For topping up the system, just use distilled water until the issue is completely resolved. Mixing unknow coolant is NOT GOOD. You can get interations and gelling. Big problem.

    Welcome, Rich! Smart move, don't drive her again until this is resolved. Love the John Candy reference. "Hey, you're going the wrong way!" "How does he know where we're going!"
  23. White987S
    Piston slap.
  24. White987S
    Thanks. What activates them (the heat)? I've never driven in the snow! LOL!!:)
  25. White987S
    Really? We have heated jets? What models? Thanks.
