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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What's the safest way to clean the engine compartment in a 997TT? What needs to be covered up before spraying an engine cleaner? What cleaner do you guys use?

POST 2Original post

Tedious job. I save all my old socks. I impregnate the socks with Spray 9 and stuff my hand in the sock and go to it. Sometimes one sock over each hand works better, sometimes two socks over my hand works. I avoid any spray liquid directly as I am bound to screw up an electrical connection. Pretty plastic covers I remove and wash in the garage tub, dry and spay with Lexol Vynolex-it disappears after a few hot runs but provides a degree of temporary satisfaction. Johan
