Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am in the middle of changing out my coolant tank. It seems that I will have to lower the engine a few inches. The car now is sitting on rubber ramps 8"-10" inches high so that I can get clearance and work under the car. I have read a lot about lowering the engine but I need one more clarification. Do I still need to support the vehicle with jack stands? Or I can lower the engine (unscrew mount nuts) while the car rests on its tires on these ramps. That's my confusing point right now. One of my friends said that I must support the car with jack stands. Is that true? Any info will be appreciated.

POST 2Original post

No need for jack stands unless you're taking the wheels off... Just make sure it can't roll off the ramps (leave it in gear, apply parking brake and chock the front wheels - should be safe).

POST 3Original post

No need lowering the engine to change the coolant tank.(on GT3) I've done this job easily in 3 hours , without problem. Just remove airbox , fuel filter and diagnostic plug & bracket.
