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.

Hey all, new owner here of a 2000 996 c2. I have owned porsches before but I am new to the 996. I tried opening the coolant cover to no avail. even my friend tried opening it but the thing wont budge. any suggestions?
buy a new cap and expansion tank. After they arrive..... try HARDER! post up a pic of the car and a pic of your stuck part. Maybe we will see something. Welcome to Rennlist
The pressure/vacuum in the system could be contributing to the difficulty. Pull up the bail on the black vent assy behind the cap to equalize the pressure/vacuum in the system. Wait 30 seconds and then try.
Thanks for the advice guys. I will try all your suggestions. ill post pics soon.
