So, in a series of funny events today, I found my car stumbled heavy on the verge of stalling out after pulling the oil cap. All signs point to AOS.
How much of a pain is this job? My shop (where I work and keep all my tools) is closed, so this is going to be a driveway repair.
Also, I remember there were a rash of bad ones fresh out the box on the other forum, any signs to that calming down?
AOS replacement
Re: AOS replacement
I copped out on the AOS and had my indy do it with the last clutch job.
Pelican says it should take about 3 hours...

I haven't seen any threads on how to test a new AOS prior to installing; everything I've seen about testing involves measuring vacuum once it's installed.
I've been watching this thread occasionally as well...for when my current AOS buys the farm.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Re: AOS replacement
Nope. Shop full of tools, and of course, nope of the testing stuff at home.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 2:31 pmDid you test it to make sure it's out of range?Dgi 07 wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 11:57 am So, in a series of funny events today, I found my car stumbled heavy on the verge of stalling out after pulling the oil cap.

I don't mind throwing a part at my own cars, as long as I'm not doing it again in a month!!!

Re: AOS replacement
Seems like Porsche really could designed a better location for the AOS. Flat 6 changed mine out with the tranny removed, but the tech said it was still a PITA job. I changed out my air oil separator on my Volvo (yes, they have them) and it was a simple job. Volvo learned to make it very accessible. But of course, it's NO Porsche 911. Bad example, I know. haha
