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

hi guys, i am working on replacing my leaking reservoir, but it got stuck can anyone show me a picture on how to lower the engine so it would be easier to take it out. my car is 2001, so it's the "long" style tank.

POST 2Original post

Look at post #1 in this thread. That is a safe place to put the jack to lower the engine. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...p-a-p-car.html Put a wood piece or hockey puck on the jack, put the jack under the engine lug, take the weight off the engine mounts. The two rear engine mounts live at the rear corners of the engine bay. Go underneath with a "19"? MM deep socket and take the nuts (two, one for each mount) off the engine mount studs. Lower the engine a couple inches. Depending on how tall your jack is, you are probably going to have to raise the rear of the car a foot in order to get room to do this.

I didn't lower my engine, but did have to wrestle with my coolant tank to remove and reinstall it. Patience grasshopper. A few skinned knuckles, lots of 4 letter words, and several attempts later...success. GL I feel your pain.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks for the suggestion, i think i broke the hinger piece already, the black plastic thing holding the CR, i am going out to buy a saw, to cut the small pipe, which seems to be in the way.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
