But, I would certainly replace the idle bearings on the belts.

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.

Hello,
I have a 996tt that has suffered a coolant pipe failure. I have dropped the motor and now in the process of fixing the leak, and taking care of the other potential leaks.
While I have the motor down I would like to perform as much preventative maintenance as possible. Does anyone know what other maintenance I should perform?
So far I am doing the following:
fixing all glued coolant pipes
replacing all rubber coolant hoses, coolant expansion tank, water pump, and thermostat
replacing old and cracked vacuum lines
replacing o-rings and seals for anything taken apart
servicing the fuel injectors
replacing the spark plugs and coils (some were cracked)
Thank you,
Jeff
That’s a pretty good list of items. I’d also have a look at the slave cylinder hose. Like brake lines, they narrow from the inside and it’s a good time to replace it. They’re tightly confined with the engine in so this is a great pm item while you’re there. Perhaps throw out bearing as well. Plastic item that wears and is inexpensive to do at this time.
Thanks guys!
tonythetarga,
The car has the GT2 clutch slave cylinder conversion, so the hose was replaced about 1.5 years ago. During this engine removal I have removed the hard lines that use to feed Pentosin from the power steering pump to the old assisted slave cylinder.
The GT2 clutch slave cylinder conversion was well worth it, as the clutch operations is now consistent and predictable, and should not fail again. I put together the whole conversion kit for about the same price as a new replacement original slave cylinder.
Thanks for the advice on the throwout bearing. I will likely replace this as well.
yelcab1,
The car has about 112K miles, so its probably time to replace those idle bearing. Thanks for this advice!
Jeff - here's a helpful guide for any current / future repairs or maintenance that you may do on your 996TT.
