Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

This year I made a concerted effort to stay on top of my ‘99 C2 maintenance list. The car only has 64k miles, and I’m the original owner. But it is 20 years old. In addition to fluids, which I’ve done religiously, I’ve done the followings:
brakes and rotors (4)
IMS
RMS
AOS
clutch, bearing and flywheel
coils and plugs
water pump, stat (next week)
oil cooler (small leak)
leaky sensor (cam position?)
window regulators
some front suspension work
I found a great Indy here in FL, and he’ll look it over when it’s in next week. any suggestions what else I should be thinking of replacing? Coolant reservoir?
Sounds like a great car and you are staying on top of it....what about engine air filter and he cabin airfilter.
BTw….I would love to see some pics of your car.
Coolant tank if it's original.
Coolant hoses - Any that look visually bad. I removed several of mine and was surprised to find that despite their age they were in good shape. The ones that were bad were all the ones around the engine (heat) and on the bottom of the engine (road spray).
Anything rubber that you can reach without removing the engine, particularly the SAI system vacuum hoses while you have the left intake out for the AOS.
Consider replacing the starter if it's original, again easy access when the left intake is out.
Alternator or at least the voltage regulator on the back of the alternator
Yes, I use BavAutogruppe in Gainesville. Skylar takes great care of me, I�d give him five stars any day. His shop doesn�t look like a Porsche dealership, but he really knows his German cars and is very reasonable to work with.
Not trying to change thread topic, but try Drivers Choice Motors in Longwood. They are a great Porsche specific shop. Techs are previous Porsche dealer techs. When i purchased my 04 C4S from Porsche of Orlando and made the IMS part of the deal they had them do the repairs. It speaks volumes of them if the Dealer recomends them. Not to mention several others on the forum will give thsm a thumbs up.
