TIPS OF THE MONTH
Bad MAF Sensor -- On 1997 and above 996's, Turbos, and Boxsters, the Mass Air Flow Sensor can fail prematurely due to delamination. Also over-oiling your air filter cloggs the MAF sensor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Mobil 1 -- Mobil Oils has begun to replace 15w 50 as Mobil 1 Extended Performance. Containing more additives, it;s high viscosity provides outstanding performance in high-revving, high-temperature conditions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed State Inspection -- On all OBD2 (1996+) Porsche's, after being serviced, from battery disconnection or erased codes, the car must be driven through a series of "Drive Cycles". This cycle begins from when you start the car through how long it is driven for until the check engine light is off. Then it can be tested by state inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valve Cover Leak -- Be aware that the 993 has plastic lower valve covers which leak over time due to warpage of the covers. Repairs may require replacement of the cover and gaskets. See image >>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rubber Damper Breakage -- Due to normal fatigue, the rubber damper tends to break on all automatic transmission equipped 968's and 944's.
