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.

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

POST 1Original post

Thanks Wayne, If you are doing this for the first time how many tubes should i buy do you think, like how many do you expect will be cracked or leaking. The car has 53,000 and i'm pretty sure it's never had the plugs replaced, I've had it since 31,000 mile. __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here: Pelican Porsche Tech Article - Replacing Spark Plugs on your Porsche 911 Carrera - Porsche 996 Carrera (1998-2005), Porsche 997 Carrera (2005-2008)

It's hard to say - I think they are cheap enough that it makes sense to just buy a set of six, and then use them as you see fit? - Wayne

POST 3Original post

Do it right once. Replace all 6 plugs, plug tubes, and both tube O-rings.

POST 4Original post

I have a special tool I fabricated to remove the tubes with absolutely zero damage......don't even need to pull the spark plug :-) Considering manufacturing them.....how many people would be interested?

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
