The other problem was the piston for the right hand ram was very tight so I had trouble bleeding the system.

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

Hi. My 966 turbo's rear spoiler is lifting one side only. Who is the recommended repairer. I do not want to trawl the internet and get it wrong. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Hi Adrian. It's not an uncommon issue as our cars age. Have a look at these guys, their upgraded system comes recommended by a few members. https://www.revolution-porsche.co.uk/upgrades Good luck. Andy

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Problem now solved. The pipe to the right hand ram was loose, the last person to mess about in there had not done the pipe up tight enough or put all the nuts back on. The other problem was the piston for the right hand ram was very tight so I had trouble bleeding the system. Stripped down and cleaned. It would seem that this car has been maintained by experts, this is not the first problem.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
