What better way to spend Bank Holiday Sunday than cleaning the inside of a 993 wheel arch?
I have followed some previous threads and decided to tackle the offside rear arch this morning. Very satisfying. Even more so if my car wasn't black as it would have been nice to see a body colour emerging from the dirt.
My new 18v Makita Impact wrench made wheel removal a breeze. (I have replaced the alu nuts with steel from Type911 for this express purpose). The cleaning process was a sequence of spray with neat APC, agitate and wait, HP hose off, air dry, spray with Tardis, agitate and wait, HP hose off, repeat alternate APC & Tardis applications. Very pleased with the result. Will do another arch next week.
Learnt a lot about my 993 - didn't even know the oil filter was in there! (I'm more conversant with 3.2 Carreras)
A few pictures and a couple of questions - am I using the correct hole to insert the aluminium jacking block - it looks as it will fit an inboard hole as well as an outboard hole.
Also is the corrosion along the edge of the oil tank any cause for concern?
