Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Hello, I had been maintaining a 2007 911 Carrera S convertible with automatic transmission for a family member for several years, now the car has 50k and I would be doing some heavy maintenance and I need some advise.. 1) complete brake system 2) Water pump and thermostat 3) Spark plugs and coil packs 4) Coolant tank replacement 5) AOS replacement, will all new (accordeon) hoses. Regarding #1, #2 and #3 are no issues as these are fairly simple For #4, I was planning to lower the engine about 2" to have enough room to remove the coolant tank. However, #5 is where I am questioning myself about the steps to follow, as I watched a DIY video by FCP Euro and iy does not look like a fun job.. I have never put the convertible top in the "service position" to have access to the top of the engine, does someone know if the 911 has a also rear access engine cover (by removing the "rear seats" like the Boxter and Cayman? After watching the FCP Euro video I am wondering if may be better off by lowering the engine and transmission together a few inches, to have better access and do all the things (engine related) at the same time? I don't have access to a lift, but I have a QuickJack and jack stands and a Harbor Freight 'lift table' that I used to lower the engine/gearbox on my previous 987CS What plan would you recommend? Thank you in advance! PS: I replaced twice the AOS and accordeon hoses on the Cayman 987CS but never on a convertible (911 or Boxter) .
