Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I am getting ready to do my 60K service and have a brake/clutch fluid question:
Possible to do a 'true' brake fluid flush yourself? Read recently (I think here) that there is more to a flush that just hooking up your power bleeder and cycling through the new fluid.
So, what is the prodecure? OR do I need to go to the dealer or an indy?
**EDIT**
Just wanted to add that I know how to bleed my brakes and have done so many times so I am not looking for the RR,LR,Clutch,FR,FL order but rather the differnce (if any).
To complete the flush you will need to recycle the fluid in the ABS system.
The correct and easiest way to do that is to use the Porsche tool PST2 (I'm not the correct name if it is not PST2) to open the ABS system to allow the old fluid to cycle out.
However, you might be able to simulate that by completely flush out the fluid like you normal do and than take the car for a ride and hit the brake hard enough (watch surrounding traffic if you do that) to trigger the ABS a couple of times. Go home and do a complete flush again.
I would just take it to the dealer or independent shop that has the PST2 tool. If you go to an independent shop, make sure they actually have the tool before you have them do the flush.
If you track your car frequently, you might want to do that once a year before your first event.
The one owned by our local PCA chapter president.....Carl's Place on Meade (between Sahara and DI off of Valley View). They are the ONLY exclusive Porsche indy in the area and have been in business for over 30 years! I spend alot of time over there just shooting the sh*t with the guys. Tell em I sent you over and they will take care of you. Great guys.
