Suggestion · Original poster

I have the transmission out of my car, (replacing IMS), and I thought I would go ahead and replace my AOS because I recently saw some white smoke.

Suggestion

If you are replacing your AOS, you should consider installing the UAOS instead, which according to the designer/seller on this forum, permanently fixes the "problem" w/the AOS.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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 have the transmission out of my car, (replacing IMS), and I thought I would go ahead and replace my AOS because I recently saw some white smoke. I took a hose off the top and what I guess is coolant started pouring out. Out of all the DIY steps I've seen, I do not recall anything about draining the coolant before replacing the AOS. Did I miss that step?

POST 2Original post

The AOS have heating via the coolant system. It's located so high that you can replace it without draining the coolant, just a little will spill out.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, Once the coolant started pouring, I put the hose back on. I'll get back on it.

POST 4Original post

If you are replacing your AOS, you should consider installing the UAOS instead, which according to the designer/seller on this forum, permanently fixes the "problem" w/the AOS. Just search "UAOS" to thread and discussion about this product. It's on my list of the few remaining things to do to my 996.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I installed the AOS while the transmission was out. Not the easiest job but I ended up buying a stubby ratchet and flexible extension and that made a huge difference. I also replaced the oem hose clamps with standard screw types I bought at the parts store.
