Porsche Air Oil Seperator - What a PITA
« on: March 08, 2014, 12:47:27 PM »
Just sayin  :bhead

I don't drive the car, fit much better into the Mustang.  Apparently, I fit much better under the Mustang also, the Porsche is a PITA to get under and the Air Oil Separator appears to be made for 45 pound pre-adolescent boys to reach.  What the heck are they thinking squeezing those hoses that far up into a gap about the size of my now swollen left thumb??

Your first problem is the Porsche.


The second problem is that you're actually working on one of those over-rated POS cars.

 Welcome to the world of assembly engineers!

  It's been quite awhile since I played with any porsche's motors but I have a buddy who always said"it's easier to just drop the motor out!" :devil

 Could be worse,you could have to loosen a motor mount just to change a single spark plug!

I enjoy working on my buddy's 914.   It is such a simple, well thought out design.    The bonus is taking it out on the track.

Out of all them, it is the one one to go too.   The Riddler Award.   Next year we should meet up there.

I was just about to say the same, better to drop the engine. A good opportunity to check the RMS/PMS and possibly service the clutch.

 Even early VW Bug had a few 'tight places'...when my children were young frequently they'd be asked to 'help your over-sized-hand dad out". Oldest boy wrenched on his stryker in Iraq, now fixing Army helos. Daughter has no hesitation getting hands dirtyeither, altho she tends to change clothes, whereas I end up w/more wrenching appropriate pants/shirts. The youngest fixed my 87 325i verts AC...delightfully decadent to have vert w/icey AC :)

Oh come on if they designed it for easy maintenance and repair what need would there be for Porsche Certified Mechanics, the technical school, and apprenticeship program?
Heuschrecke repair this Porsche without burning yourself, nor bleeding. Only then will you be ready.
