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.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 02 c2 targa is at 63k miles now .. Looks like rms leak for last few months getting worse now. Indie has $900 special to do rms .. So while I am in there plan to do lne ims, clutch/ bearing ( hopefully flywheel ok) .. Gbox 2nd gear fix, check trans mount, replace aos, check oil cooler o-ring. What else should I be thinking about ?

POST 2Original post

Motor mounts seem to be a popular replacement item that makes a big difference. I haven't done mine, but I've heard good things. I think it will be one of my next repair/replacement items.

POST 3Original post

Have you done a 60K service? If not, do plugs +/- coil packs and serpentine belt. Waterpump? T-stat? Coolant expansion tank?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Did 60k. No benefit to do water pump at same time. Or motor mounts. So will wait to do pump on next year budget. Indie is flint works in Campbell ca. Very pleased with them on previous jobs ...

POST 7Original post

Or forgo the cost and buy my 996 that has all that work already done. Time to update to convertible !

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Car is in shop now .. Asked them to check trans mount .. Ok ... Oil cooler was leaking .. Time to replace o rings ( will post pic later)

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here us pic of leaking oil cooler - found while doing RMS. I had noticed small coolant loss - but not enough to worry about - so hopefully a couple of $1.50 o-rings takes care of that for another 10 years ...

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

RMS done, IMS swapped for LNE - here is picture of old one at 63K miles.... indie said it still looked pretty good - no obvious signs of wear - very slight play. I guess I could open the seal up and look at the ball condition this weekend - but seals still look in good shape. Clutch still had >50% left - so that was not changed. At least I now have piece of mind with LNE - and hopefully no more oil leak (and water leak) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0ly69p54dqis0x7/PzXEv4N_EE?m
