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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

'03 C4S. My front diff is leaking from the left side - only when underway - not badly. Indy put it on air lift and ran through the gears after installing 2nd new seal. Saw a couple millimeters of lateral play in axle, and gear oil drips. Decision time - swap or rebuild. Indy cannot find exploded parts diagram showing bearings and seals. Anybody point me in the right direction? Need this to figure cost. Did 993 use same differential? Did MK-I and MK-II use same differential? Anybody rebuild one, and pass on anything learned? Need bearing type. Thanks! DC4

POST 2Original post

DC4- tell me about your 997 turbo front bumper...any more pics? Where did you source it from?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's a GT2 aftermarket with Porsche lights and grilles. I wouldn't buy another one, even though it was on the car when I bought it last fall. It was from Wicked Motorsports, very poor execution at the attachment points. It does look good though. DC4

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Used front diff is installed ($$370 installation. !!) and the car is on the road again - feels good. DC4(S)
