I did that for the first time last summer and realized then that I would be well advised to replace the spark plug tubes O-rings!

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

... on my website. Here: http://www.pedrosgarage.com/Site/DIY%20Projects.html I also revised the instructions for the Front Engine Mount replacement. Happy Boxstering, Pedro

POST 2Original post

Thanks Pedro! I love the site and have followed many of your guides! nice one on the spark plug replacement. I did that for the first time last summer and realized then that I would be well advised to replace the spark plug tubes O-rings! Your method is definitely safer than the plier one I used. One small typo in an otherwise flawless site: "There" instead of "their methods..." in the second paragraph on the tubes. Mike

POST 3Original post

Quick FYI on the brake fluid DIY: Boiling water doesn't change it's chemical composition. It's still H2O when in gas form.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for pointing that out. I knew that: Solid (ice), liquid (water), gas (water vapor). Must be that I'm getting old! I'll make sure and correct it next time I update the site. Happy Boxstering, Pedro

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

You are absolutely correct Mike. Glad you guys are awake and call me on the errors. Can't get anything past you! Thanks. Happy Boxstering, Pedro

POST 6Original post

Not sure if the website originally stated "there methods" or "their methods", but "their methods" would be gramatically correct.

POST 7Original post

Flushing that clutch line is quite an annoying exercise in dexterity. Thanks for the instructions.

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