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'm trying to find a resource on replacing piston squirters for the 996 engine. Mine is 2004 C2. I've been searching and haven't found any specifics for removing the squirters from the crankshaft carrier. I also can't find anything on any of my workshop manuals. Any help would be appreciated!

POST 2Original post

I think you better contact Jake at FSI with this question. He is the engine builder that knows it all.

POST 3Original post

They pull out easily & just run hot water thru them to insure no clogs then dry with compressed air hose. Reinsert like they were before. It seems like they are not secured but it works fine.

I agree with Joe. Jake Raby would be the best resource for M96 rebuilding questions. He is soon to be releasing a DVD video series on assembling these M96 engines. You might want to check it out once available.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have the video series and it covers installing the piston squirters. I was checking to see removal tips. They sit flush with the carrier and don't just fall out by turning them upside down so I was checking to see a safe way of extracting them. Jake's a busy guy and I'm trying to save questions to him for critical things or when I get really stuck. I'll play around with them as I get to cleaning the carrier.

POST 6Original post

Warm the carrier up and they’ll normally fall out on their own if you tap on the carrier while it’s inverted. Remember, have the main bearing inserts removed when doing this. You can use a small rod to convince the squirters to dislodge, if necessary.

Thanks Jake!
