996.2 Carrera M96.03 3.6L Factory Coils Heat Shield LH


Recommended Posts

My original LH (Driver Side) coils heat shield side wall was cut at the rear end so I bought exactly the same factory 996 104 445 01 Heat Shield which ironically was taken from the LH side of the donor car as well. So the issue is I can't figure of how to insert the uncut heat shield into the place? - When I tried to put in in from the wheel arch, the rear sidewall gets stuck by the engine block rear screw stud and I don't see any way to get the heat shield in-place. Is it any magic for taking the original factory heat shield from and to the 996.2 3.6L engine?

Solved.

 

I didn't find any mentioning on the heat shield in the Porsche Carrera 996 Group 1 Engine From 15 service manual so I bent both sidewalls outward a little to pass the rear stud and finally got the heat shield in-place. Then I straighten up both side walls as they were and screwed the screen up.

Thoughts and observation: The 996 104 445 01 Heat Shield is marked in the Parts Catalog with "A" (Assembly only) - installed when the car was assembled. They don't sell it. They sell the other shield 996 104 445 02 which is more rounded up than the "01" S-shaped shield and the 996 104 445 02 is having only one side-wall. Appearing the 996 104 445 01 shield is perfectly sliding down under so there is no need to take it out to do a maintenance on coils/spark plugs while seems all stupid mechanics trying to take it out, cut the side walls off, whatever. So the factory made a re-visioned part which they sell which is not having one of the side walls. But, the matter is without a side wall the overheated air will eventually crack the wall of the coil which is near-by. That was the whole point I wanted to get the original part with both side walls, not the revised part.
