Enable the AUX INPUT!

I added a Sony RM-X7BT Bluetooth Commander to our 2001 986 a couple of years ago. I also had to buy a wiring harness (plug-in adapter and power cord). The factory Becker radio accepts the plug. The...

Little Blue Hose Clip

I had the same idea as everyone else. Save that little blue piece of strange plastic. It sounded so simple, so obvious.

And it is. Until you attempt to reload a spring clamp into it, that is!

It's been four years since your post.

My 01 986 also jumped roughly ten degrees after I removed and cleaned the radiators and replaced the hoses. I also used new "lifetime" coolant with an exact...

It looks great. Mine is Guards Red now, which is the original color but I'm thinking of changing the color.

Any loose material that is trapped by the magnet on your plug is no longer circulating through your engine. Think of it as a pair of suspenders to go with your belt.

PCV information

I have searched the "How To" and forums. The PCV is rarely mentioned and then merely the object of speculation. Even Wayne's book, 101 Projects doesn't help. The PCV isn't even mentioned in the...

It seems if that happened you would have bigger problems than just your oil drain plug.

I couldn't tell a lot from your video.
